I got the Elmarit and it's beautiful, small, and light (no pictures back yet so for now I have to be content with admiring the aesthetics of the lens). Well, actually, after using Ms until very recently it seems beautiful, huge, and heavy. But it is almost exactly the size of my 35 R and is significantly lighter than the Summicron, so I'm happy. Of course, the first time I used it I was shooting Kodachrome in the shade and found that wide open at 2.8 at a 90th I was exactly one stop underexposed. I guess I need that 2.0 Summicron too. Thanks again. Kermit Daniel The Wharton School Universityof Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6372 215 898-7148 215 898-7635 (fax)
