Subject: [Leica] R lens decision

LUGs:

As some of you know I'm a rangefinder kind of guy but I do own an R3 (and
my wife has an RE)

I have been offered three lenses. All are like brand new with original caps
and cases. Two are in original boxes. the lenses are:

180 Elmar for $800 (no box)
180 Elmarit - second version for $1200
250 Telyt-R - second version for $1300

Currently we have two 50mm lenses and the 28-70 Vario Elmar. I can perhaps
purchase ONE of these only.

Can anyone comment on the prices and image quality these lenses offer?

Thanks

Ken Wilcox
