Thanks in advance! >> In my opinion the 135, 2.8 Elmarit-R is a very underdiscussed lens. It has always been an extremely sharp lens and one which I use often. Furthermore, they sell very cheaply on the used market. I have seen lens and body prices swing up and down as Leica users fancies swing and sway - with not a lot of relationship to the performance of the item in question. The 35mm2.8 and the 135mm2.8 Elamrit R's are two such lenses which represent an excellent price/performance ratio. Bob Figlio
