Certainly not my assessment of the mechanical finish(?) of the Tri-Elmar that
I looked at.  The focusing mechanism felt like sand was stuck in it and the
change of focal length had no affect on the viewfinder grids in my M6 .85.
Sounds like Leica made sure CDI had a perfect example to test.   I would be
curious to know others experience with the Tri-Elmar.
