Very nice shots. Can you retract it fully with no problems? I had to let go of my DR cron because it won't work on the M8 (that and I needed the money). I ended up w/ a Canon 50 1.4, which I like a lot, and a J8, which was too cheap to not grab. The bokeh of your bouquets is lovely. Thanks for posting.

I use a collapsible Summicron 50mm on my M8 from time to time. When on the M8, I NEVER collapse. Just not worth the risk.

Thank you robklurfield.
Full retract without any problem.
I didn't knew the issued of collapsible lens with M8 , was worries after I learned it,
done a check but no scratch at all.

kasey, I had no issues with a collapsible because I've never owned one. What I had was a dual range summicron with bug eyes. there's an issue with it the M8. as I always liked the character of the 'cron, I was wondering about compatibility now that my only M is an M8, so thank youo for confirming your collapsible cron works.
