[Leica] Voigtldr 50mm 3.5 Heliar with the Leica M240 ?

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Well there's the thing Steve! Has anyone ever tried? Some people report
carefully retracting collapsible lenses into Leica bodies without problems.
Leica themselves say don't do it (with their own designs). I have never
seen the lens myself.
I guess if you owned one and were feeling adventurous you could try?
Personally I would not. You might try asking Stephen Gandy at Cameraquest?
If you don't own one but are considering it for its very compact properties
for carrying, you might look at the little Summarit or the Elmar M 50
(which can be collapsed safely). I think that Lluis still has one for sale
by the way.



Cheers
