I have the a similar issue with collapsible lenses in general--I always seem to
grab in the wrong place when I want to change aperture with the camera at my
eye. I had this issue with an old 3.5 Elmar I once had, and have it again with a
collapsible Summicron I just bought from a German LHSA member. But I like
collapsible lenses in general, and the "new" Summicron looks great on my
M3--they are after all of roughly the same age and seem made for each other.
