Elmar 50mm Collapsible in M8

[saturnales]

Could someone tell me if the recent version of the Elmar 50mm Collapsible fits in the M8 or not? I'm reading many different advises on that. Who's telling the truth?

Yes it does.

I used one for about a month with no problems whatsoever.

Great to know, but here is the big one, does the old screw mount elmar work too?

 

[Bébèrt]

and a Heliar classic 50mm/f2 ?

At http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtlen.htm Steven Ganday says: "COLLAPSIBLE NOTE for Leica M8, M5, CL, Minolta CLE, Konica RF: On my five sample cameras, the Voigtlander 50/2 Heliar collapsed safely into the Leica M8, M5, CL, Minolta CLE and Konica RF! Note that there are most likely unknown production variations in both the lenses and cameras. so proceed with caution before you inadvertently jam or damage your camera. "
