After heavy use on a recent trip to Canada I can say I'm pretty happy with it. Now I need to look at replacing my original 90 Elmarit. This is a gorgeous black Wetzlar Elmarit that's absolutely like new. It's going to take a great lens to get me to part with my black beauty. I know the reputation of the current Elmarit but I'm more interested in the current Summicron-M. Has anyone compared the Elmarit and Summicron, especially with color reversal film? How about a comparison between the Summicron-M and Summicron-R? I have the R lens and like it a lot. I've heard the rumors about an APO Summicron but I'll bet it'll cost nearly twice what the current Summicron costs. Bud
