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.
