My thin 90mm f2.8 Tele-Elmarit 1913 - 1983 serial number 3201673 is marked
TELE - ELMARIT - M on the front of the lens.
End serious comments.
I have noticed that if you black out the "-M", the contrast wide open
plummets!* Perhaps you should have the "-M" engraved on your lens? ;-) ;-)
John Collier ;-) ;-)
*alternate smart a** remarks: .......a fungus suddenly starts growing!
.......the rear element starts separating! .......I get lucky!
Sorry for all the above but my two year old fruit of my looms was up four
times last night.
