I have an old  Elmarit 90 2110XXX. It has a red feet scale
and a white meters scale. Right under the feet marking is a white M
for meters and about 1mm to the right of that m are 2 tiny sideways zeros
in white. Does anybody know what they are there for?

The "00" is the lens' deviation from the marked focal length, so your 90mm
Elmarit-R is truly a 90mm lens.  I don't know how it compares with the last
version but I was quite pleased with the performance of the one I borrowed
many years ago.
