Guest Posted June 25, 2018 Share #1  Posted June 25, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is it safe to put a Elmar M 50mm f2.8 collapsable inside the M10.....i.e. can I clasps the Elmar M inside the M10. The guy at the Leica store wasn't sure hence the question  Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted June 25, 2018 Share #4 Â Posted June 25, 2018 In fact you can still mount it retracted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted June 25, 2018 Share #5  Posted June 25, 2018 In fact you can still mount it retracted.  I'm sure that is true, but I never do. My old, shaky hands would likely cause the collapsed rear element to contact something inside the body while mounting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted June 26, 2018 Share #6 Â Posted June 26, 2018 I mount it retracted, it can only do damage if you try to force the lens onto the body at some absurd angle which even with eyes closed would be hard to do. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted June 26, 2018 Share #8  Posted June 26, 2018 I mount it retracted, it can only do damage if you try to force the lens onto the body at some absurd angle which even with eyes closed would be hard to do. The objection against mounting it collapsed is not scratching the inside of the body - difficult to do and even if you managed to do so a dollop of matte black paint or even a sharpie would be an easy fix- the real danger is hitting the roller arm and knocking it out of adjustment, or hitting and damaging the exposure sensor.  Collapsing it when mounted can do no harm, except from the theoretical possibility of pumping dust onto the sensor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephengv Posted June 26, 2018 Share #9  Posted June 26, 2018 Considering that it is collapsible, does it result to more dust in the Camera Sensor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 26, 2018 Share #10 Â Posted June 26, 2018 Theoretically it might. In real life I've never noticed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2018 Share #11 Â Posted June 26, 2018 Hay one more question. Does it make any difference if I shoot with the lens extended or colasoec I'm assuming it will as the PIV will change Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 26, 2018 Share #12 Â Posted June 26, 2018 If that is a serious question: Rather - if you want to have a sharp image instead of vague blobs. Lock it in place too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

earleygallery Posted June 29, 2018 Share #18 Â Posted June 29, 2018 You also need to remember to collapse the lens after each photo and retract it again before the next, to reset it. A bit like a pump action shotgun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
