It becomes very close to the rigid around f8 (I have the DR). While I like my DR the best, I use the Summilux ASPH when I want ultimate sharpness. In all I have 6 50's including the Nocti and the Tri-Elmar. I also include a 50/3.5 Elmar. The only lens I have for my IIIc. I think your reason for wanting the collapsible is dead on. Try it, you'll like it. Good Luck and find a good one.
