You grab and twist the lens hood to change aperture. Takes some getting used to.

I had this issue with an old 3.5 Elmar I once had, and have it again with a collapsible Summicron I just bought from a German LHSA member. But I like collapsible lenses in general, and the "new" Summicron looks great on my M3--they are after all of roughly the same age and seem made for each other.
