Would anyone have been fortunate enough to compare the new 50 F2.8
collapsible Elmar with the original? How do they compare?
I had an old one ages ago that I used to love. It allowed me to
chuck a camera in a jacket pocket and go. Unfortunately, it "disappeared"
some time ago. I recently got another "thrown in" with a body but it has
the faintest beginnings of fungus and hence, I haven't bothered to use it.
Any idea what sort of price/hassle would be involved in getting it
restored?
Cheers,
Jae
