I just returned from a trip to Costa Rica that included shooting in rain forest situations (quite dark, even during the day) using TMX generally. The T/E was usually wide open in those situations, and the images are great! It's also a good portrait lens. No dog here.///Dick Baznik _____________ At 06:25 PM 2/19/99 -0500, Bob wrote: >I recently purchased a 90 /2.8 M Tele-Elmarit; so this thread is abit >frightening to me- I haven't had a chance to run extensive tests yet with >the Tele; I just did some headshots last night; but has anyone else >developed an opinion like Mark's on this lens?
