Ms optical Super Triplet Perar 35mm f3.5 and 28mm f4 are some of the smallest I've seen for rf. They're m Mount and pancake sized.
If be interested to see one on an a7/r

Could this be the smallest 50mm RF lens? This is a test of the Leica Elmar 50 mm F/2.8 collapsible lens mounted with a standard Fotodiox Leica to Nex adapter. The lens is set to infinity at F/8

15 blades actually. I also have a red-scale, and it's a charming little classic with remarkable performance. You can save your fingernails with the hood called VALOO.

Just discovered this forum. Hello to everyone :-)
This little gem is glued to my A7R, always in my briefcase or pocket.

15 for the 2.8 elmar, 10 for the 3.5. TY for suggesting the Valoo

Shoot first Contax G-series Planar T* 2/45 shots today. This lens is definitely very sharp, even wide open. But bokeh can be too edgy on wide apertures and even at f/11 on some circumstances. Rendering style is quite "Zeiss"-like, I think I'll like this lens when I get to know better. I took few landscapes, but visibility wasn't that great, but it seems this lens is very capable on larger distances as well.
Lens is also ridiculously small (I'm used to Zeiss ZE-series lenses on 5DmkII). It's focused via adapter, and mine works mostly OK but sometimes adapter struggles little (it does same without lens). If I really fell in love to these Contax G-lenses, then maybe Metabones adapter is needed (I now have Kiwi-branded, not cheapest but Metabones looks much better). It's hilarious how people struggle installing Contax G lens to adapter (did see some Youtube videos people complaining about it), it's very easy, at least with Kiwi branded adapters.

Pulled out both lenses, and you are correct. I thought the postwar 50/3.5 got an aperture upgrade, but apparently not. Well, the bokeh is still awesome, and 10 is better than 6!
Very unique signature.
