maybe it was on the leica-reflex site?  I think it was less than a month
ago......

Discussion also mentioned the 90 Elcan 

Bottom line... the 66 was considered a gem.  The 90 a dog.

Thanks, I'm trying to find Emmanuel's post.  Google isn't catching it yet.

Emmanuel Lowi had responded in the recent past  to this ..... best look in
the archives...

The lens is marked ELCAN so try that as a search word.....

One on that auction site is $20K, of course, it has been there a while and
not sold.

Anyone here own or shoot with a 66mm f2 Elcan?

If yes, mind if I ask about performance and imaging qualities of the lens?

Is there another lens that it compares well to?

What did you do to deal with the lack of 66mm framelines in your M (I am
assuming you used an M, and also that it coupled).

Mind if I ask what current market value is?

regards
Vick
