Subject: [Leica] 90/4 Question

Luggers,

I am thinking of getting a 90/4 Elmar screwmount as a budget tele.  Are
there pros and cons like black vs. chrome or some years better than others
with this lens?  I seem to remember posts about people still using these
older lenses w/ adapters but don't recall the specifics.  I just can't
spend 500.00+ for a lens that I will use very infrequently. I never really
liked my skinny (mid 80's) 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit I had years ago but if I can
get close to its performance for around 250.00 I might go for that. BTW,
are hoods still available for these lenses? If you have/use one of these
screwmount 90/4 Elmars, please let me know how you like it.


Thanks

Mark
