Hi there,

besides other factors, I beliebe one great advantage of the Leica M system is the compact size.

So even though some great lenses like Noctilux etc. are unique and great, I am more and more interested in small lenses as well. And to bring the M-system even more often and even to occasions, where I want really small size and weight. Maybe others are interested in this as well. So I would like to start a list of small lenses, collapsible but also other very small ones.

I start with 2 ones I own myself:

28/5.6 - great rendering, good contrast, a little mushy in the corners

50/2.8  - haven't used it much lately, its said to render very good at short distance, I believe it renders somewhat like the 90/2.8, good color and contrast

would be great to help me to complete this list..
