Collapsed, it's hardly larger than a body cap so there really is no reason not to take the M everywhere. This is the reason why I'm not interested m 4/3, X10 etc. Sure, it doesn't zoom or has liveview or do video, but comparing to an M9, everything else just seems a bit lacking (except for the XPan of course :-), or an Alpa, or an S2, or...) <-- my opinions only and I am talking about for myself only. Everyone is entitled to their preferences. Anyway, the Pera 35 is no longer the smallest M lens. That honor is now on another lens that Miyazaki san makes by hand: the Perar 28/4 Super Tpirlet (the first batch all has the misspelling). It doesn't collapse and it's smaller than the Perar 35 collapsed! Mine came in today and I just took a few quick test shots. The first shot here is mainly to see what happens shooting into the Sun and it looks pretty good. All photos have been processed a bit using LR. Nothing heroic. I also cropped the last two images a bit. All in all, looks like another winner. Now it's even more so of having no excuse not to take the M9 everywhere! http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20120223-L1009641.jpg http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20120223-L1009646.jpg http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20120223-L1009648.jpg -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com>
