Does anyone happen to have the collapsed dimensions of their Industar-50 handy? I'd love to know how far it sticks out from the body when collapsed.

I want to carry a convenience Zorki around with me, but I'm trying to gauge just how "pocketable" it will be compared to the rigid Industar-50 I have now. That'll really drive my purchase decision for a messenger bag which can best accommodate that sort of setup.

Thanks in advance!

The I-50 and I-22 project 18mm from the lens flange when collapsed - not including a lens cap/filter etc. It's a lot smaller than the rigid version. It makes a Zorki 1 pocketable - if you have fairly large pockets and don't mind the weight in them! Something like an inside jacket pocket will accommodate it.

By the way, you'd probably have got a quicker answer if you'd posted in the FSU sub-forum.
 
Thanks for the info. I realized this after I had posted it and saw the giant READ INSTRUCTIONS text above, which I somehow managed to miss when hitting the Post button ;)

Merci!
