Hey Chuck, Ah yes, _my_ :-) thin Tele-Elmarit, back when the 90mm was my favorite focal length. It was Buzz Hausner who taught me the delights of the thin Tele-ELmarit. I had that, the 90m Elmarit-M, the 90mm Summicron AA, and the Summicron non-AA. Love them all. I miss the Tele-Elmarit the most because that one was a very clean, very smooth focusing one, and they are much harder to get in that condition. I am glad it's in good hands now. When you are tired of it, let me know. The only 90mm I have now is the Voigtlander APO Lanthar 90mm f3.5, really a superb lens, albeit a tad slow. But it's light and I can use it on my LTM cameras. - Phong
