[Leica] 50/2.8 Elmars...

Steve,

Evidently the modern version has been reformulated ... and is even better.

Here's some with the old one I have:

It lives on my M3, more or less.

I've seen wonderful results with the modern forumlation and will pick
one up as soon as I run across one for a decent price. I like the old
one, but the new one seems to be in a class of its own.
