I do have some questions on them though. The 90mm lens is black, s/n 2,721,xxx, and says it's a LEITZ WETZLAR ELMARIT 1:2.8/90. The lens says GERMANY on the base of it, and distances are listed in feet and meters, though the M (for meters) has a sideways 05 next to it. It has a clamp-on lens shade (IUFOO), but I can't tell that the head detaches. Am I right to assume that this is the "original" Elmar (as opposed to the "thin," "thick," and "Elmar-M" varieties) from around '74? Can you tell me what size filters this thing takes? What size lens cap would the hood take? Any "Gotchas" about this lens model?
