Examples of folks using those are rare. I bought one for my wife 8 years ago. Every time I flip though his books which is once I week at the bookstore I think: I'm not even close to this good. Not all the top photogs I get that immediate reaction from. The reason being of course I never got to shoot with a collapsible Summicron 90! - - from my iRabs.
