New IVSB - Best collapsable?

[goamules]

Good points on the lenses, I'm leaning towards waiting on a Summitar, or even getting a 35mm for portability, they should be smaller.

On the viewfinder problem, yeah, I'll just ignore the markings, and use it backwards.

My first roll came out well, the 50/1.8 seems really nice. It will take me a while to get used to the aspect ratio of 35mm, I've been shooting half plate and quarterplate and 5x7... But this is fun and portable. I may carry the RF will me wherever I go for a few months!

The current f1.8 may be large, but I'm liking this lens (and rangefinder)! I've shot more low light in the past couple rolls than I have in years. This IVSB really seems to be working fine.

Beautiful shots - it's a fine lens.

The IVSb and 50/1.8 is an incredible combination. I sold my IVSb and sort of regret it, but still use the Serenar regularly. Nice pictures!
