I have a number of briefcases, satchels, and bags that do fine with an M6 or Hexar RF sized body and a collapsible lens. Thus, I've taken a liking to them. One of the other fellows on the LUG offered to sell me his collapsible summicron, and I took him up on it!

Jeffrey, pardon my petulance, but what exactly do you want to know? I shot for some years with one of these and have a high regard for it though, if pushed to the limit on collapsible lenses, I would seek out a 2/5cm CZJ Sonnar T. But the 2/5cm collapsible Summicron is a perfectly capable lens and will task you to reach its limits. It often does not make photography easy but, in the end, I discovered that it is a better lens than I am a photographer Marc msmall@infionline.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir! _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
