Just an observation. ........................................................................................................ I gather you're talking about the 90mm f/4 Elmar collapsible. I have one too, along with the rigid version from the late 40's, a Nikkor 85mm f/2 in LTM, and 85mm f/1.5 Enna Lithagon LTM. Can you tell 85-90mm is a favorite focal length? I don't use lenses wider than 50mm much (for myself). I used to use an Aristophot with a viso at the office before we went digital. What a nice piece of equipment.
