I am very pleased with my Tele-Elmarit and I have no idea whether I have the
first or second (it's my first ... ;-)
Ser. # is 33172xx.  Which is it?

No, sir.  A bunch of us have owned and loved the skinny Tele-Elmarit, and
most of us have been quite careful to identify the version to which we are
referring.  I have owned and used ever 2.8/90 version and find the current
Elmarit optically stunning.  The skinny Tele-Elmarit, though, was a winner
of a lens, light and fast and easy in use, with sound optical performance.

The "fat" (five-element" Tele-Elmarit always sort-of bored me.
