Moreover, I selected the Leica SL as a substitute, because its high ISO and low light performance were similar to the M10. The old 1:2.5/5cm Hektor had the longest tube - but who uses a Hektor? If you do, you may live with not collapsing it at all, and if you collapse it, do it carefully - even on an old Barnack body. Leica M10 + Leica Elcan 50mm f/2 Summicron I included a Leica SL in this comparison, because I don't have three Leica M10 bodies - sad isn't it.

The collapsible Summicron has the shortest tube which enters the camera, nothing will happen. No M3 was ever „hurt“ by a collapsed lens, they were much more usual then. For the M3 this baffle was much thicker than for a digital body, which also means there was less distance between the rear of a collapsed lens and the baffle which protects the shutter. There is a baffle aligned to the shutter. The collapsed lens will not touch the shutter. And mind the narrow space of the digital bodies by fixing and loosening it only extended. Just don‘t apply any force if you feel any resistance. Lenses have been collapsed millionfold since the Leica II and also in M bodies and did no harm. It can be touched, though normally it will give way. The position of the little wheel has not changed since the times of the Leica II - i.e. Though this is true for any body which has rangefinder coupling - be it an LTM, an M-camera for film or a digital body. But of course you can use this lens with a digital body - as long as you keep it extended (it‘s a nice lens btw, one of the best built of all Leica lenses and a little bit better in resolution and contrast than the traditional rigid one with A36 Filters since the optics were redesigned at the time when the E39 filter versions were introduced).Īll other collapsible Leica lenses can be collapsed - but there may be a little problem: the rear may hit the little wheel in the inside, which activates the rangefinder.

No problem at all, for no lens and no digital M camera.Ĭan you collapse it? There is only one lens which cannot be collapsed in a digital body: the old collapsible 1:4/90mm Elmar, because its broad rear end will not fit into the digital body which is much narrower than the traditional body for film. You use the lens extended, you fit it extended and you loosen it extended.

It is always the same: Of course you can fit every collapsible lens on any digital M. There are probably as many threads about collapsible lenses on digital M-bodies as collapsible lenses.
