I do have a weakness for collapsible lenses (and "pancake" SLR lenses like the C/Y 2.8/45 mm Tessar). Never had a problem remembering to pull out a collapsible lens before shooting. I also figured out how to use the LUG Gallery and uploaded four Sensia Slides taken with M6, 3.5/50 Elmar and 4/135mm Elmar scanned on my Epson 3200. Minor croppinf in PSE to get rid of fuzzy Fujichrome cardboard mount edges and some de-spotting. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/bigon07/ So far I am pretty happy with the 3.5/50 Elmar's performance. Will do a side by side comparison of 3.5/50 Elmar and 2.0/50 Summicron on tripod later this week.

I have also a Summicron Collapsible, is a great lens, it give a very special B&W with absolutely nice smooth tones, on the point of vue of flare it is more resistant than the Elmar. Both lenses are beautiful to enjoy. I've said my opinion talking about B&W, I don't know in color. Hoping you show your pictures and share our opinions Saludos cordiales Lluis
