Summicron 50/2 collapsible and RD-1?

[fgianni]

Will it collapse without touching the shutter on an RD-1?

Thanks

I've got one, didn't notice any problems when collapsing it. Anyone else?

It's good to hear about these "real life" experiences. There was a previous post about the 21 3.4 SA possibly working despite the manual's warning.

The User's Guide, (page 14) states, "When you mount a collapsible lens, do not collapse the lens after mounting it. Collapsing the lens into the camera by force or mounting the lens while it is collapsed may damage the camera or the lens."

I've got one, and it works fine. But I think of switching it to a 50 1,4 ASPH Summilux because of the one stop.
