Subject: Re: Advice on 90 f2.8 tele-elmarit lens

I too want to pitch in the ole 2 cents worth here.

I first owned an old thred mount 90, then the Summicron for an M3, and
now a Tele-Elmarit, which is used on a CL, a CLE, M3, and M4. I am as
critical as anyone else on here about quality and when I find I own a
lens that is less than it should be, I sell it. I have never noticed
anything but high quality results with the current 90 and have no idea
where the idea originated that this is a mediocre lens.

Mine certainly produces fine results, color and b/w.
