OOOOps!

Geoff, my Elmar is already sold!

For your information, I have collapsed it in my M8 and M9 without any 
problem, I think I have read somewhere that Leica does not give any negative 
a dice on this sense, on he other hand I remember that longtime ago Leonard 
Taupier and I think Henning Wulf too has said the same opinion.

Cheers
Lluis
