I have both and use both.
The 90/2 is a great lens, as is the Tele Elmarit.
I never find the weight of the former a problem, providing you observe the
rule of thumb about hand-held shutter-speed - i.e. if you're using a 90,
then the minimum shutter speed should be 1/90 or higher. In fact you could
argue that the extra inertia makes for a steadier picture.
In terms of results, I prefer the 90/2 marginally.
