My point didn't have to do with Leica producing the 50 anastigmatic in a collapsible version. What I was saying was that if, as Pop contends, the 50 anastigmatic on the O is the second best 50 they've ever tested - presumably better than the Summicron and Summilux - it is a very sick joke that Leica provided such a lens for the O, rather than for the M or R...
