If you place something on the barrell to prevent the lens from collapsing completely, you could use it. Someone used a couple of rubber O-rings. Just make sure the thing stops the lens early enough so that it won't touch the curtain.

Yes. I use one. It doesn't fully collapse because it hits a protrusion inside the barrel. I'm one of the crowd that put a couple of rubber rings around the barrel so it collapses less far, and now it works fine.
The lens is inconvenient to use with the meter, because changing aperture tends to turn the lens out of focus.

I use that combination sometimes. It doesn't collapse fully - focus at 1m it does, but not when focussed at inifinity. The rear end does not hit the meter or the curtain so I don't bother with rubber bands but just push it back into the camera as far as it goes.
The main problem could be that you cannot get to inifinity focus with this camera. The knob of the focus lock is too thick and the Bessa wasn't designed for this so when turning your lens, you can't turn it further than 10-20m.

Thank you very much for your responses, I think I'll change my choice .

Try a FED-50 collapsible lens. The infinity lock is a different design so you can...well...focus to infinity. The barrel is a little shorter but I used 2 rubber O-rings on the barrel to prevent it from being collapsed too far into the body. Nice compact combination with my Bessa-R.

Hi,
even though you can't focus to infinity, infinity falls well into the depth of field at f/3.5 wide open, so you still get sharp images at infinity across all apertures, at least on my specimen.
