I find that I like to use my older (Type 1/Fat) Tele-Elmarit for people. I also have the new Elmarit, with built-in hood, which I bought at an excellent price. I find this lens to be excellent. However, it has a clearly-different character from the older Tele-Elmarit. I also like the finish of the Tele-Elmarit more than the new lens. Somehow it seems more smooth than the new design with built-in hood. Incidentally, the other guys are talking about the R-versions of these lenses. Are these different from their M counterparts.
