Here's a photo of my 90 T-E, is that the same model?: https://www.flickr.com/gp/geordiepete/V96122 It's not only pocketable in a pair of jeans, it's even lighter than it looks. I sometimes wonder what the barrel is made of--some sort of poly-composite magic plasti-metal, I guess. Still, I wear jackets or coats with baggy pockets so that lenses like the Canadian 90 Summicron can come along. The 90 Tele-Elmarit is highly reliable in many situations. It also has the virtue of being rather predictable, and its colours are very modern. The Canadian Summicron is different in that respect. It has a very interesting 'pop', and the colours are a bit more pastel and, I don't know the right phrase, but I want to say something like chromatically separated. Peter
