IIRC it can be collapsed on the M9, I’ll check & get back to you on that. Can’t say for the 10 but I guess the distance from the mount to the sensor hasn’t changed.

Funny things happen in real life. I stumbled across a decent copy of the Summar LTM, a pre WWII 1938. It is indeed a very special lens with a swirly bokeh (some call it 'pig vomit' bokeh on the internet). It fits perfectly well into my collection of crazy lenses. Thanks for the tip!
