I have a 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit and I am very satisfied with it. Normally the price for a used one is very low (for Leica lenses). Unless you are a professional, use a tripod, Kodachome 25 or TechPan, a used lens will serve you very well. I do not know what version mine is and I am not really interested. As my Leica dealer once said: "All Leica lenses are good enough for most of us, and do not beleive that later versions are always better than earlier ones; many changes have been made to reduce manufacturing costs."
