Hey, I like that idea. Now I'll know why my heart always beats a bit faster
and my eyes see more keenly when I put the chrome Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8 on my
chrome M3. That is one "powerfully dense" camera package, especially with
the large 90 frame on the M3. The 90 is only slightly longer than a 50
Summicron, and I have used it many times to isolate faces or little scenes
in a crowd. 

Another "camera power density" package - a 21/2.8 Elmarit on a CL. Now
that's a real stealth camera in a crowd.
