[Leica] A Weakening... Somebody Stop Me!

[jsmith342 at cox.net (Jeffery Smith)]

One of the things I like about collapsible lenses is....they are
collapsible! I don't think the Heliar will bottom out. I hope not, at least.
It doesn't bottom out in a CV Bessa, and an Elmar does, as does the Hexanon.

Before mounting, open lens fully, apply electrical tape to lens barrel,
sleep more easily at night.
