[Leica] 13 sample portraits using my Elmar 90 f/4 LTM on a IIIf

[Nathan Wajsman]

Wonderful portraits, Brian. I have a 90mm Tele-Elmarit of a similar vintage, and I too find it a wonderful portrait lens. One of my two submissions to the LUG yearbook (of which I have bought 2 copies, BTW, one for my son in NJ and one for myself) was shot with this lens.

Cheers,
Nathan
