I have it and then also got a Summicron APO apish as I used to have two bodies going for my studio and locations shooting of people with black and white in one and color in the other. So maybe I'll see my Elmarit soon as I'm not shooting much film any more and digital gives you that's black and white or color option with every shot. I cant tell the difference between the two lenses and I made many darkroom color and black and white 11x14's from both of them. Could not remember which lens I used for the black and white and which I used for the color rolls. Mark William Rabiner
