Jorg Willem's lens is a skinny Tele-Elmarit dating from 1984.

ALL 2.8/90 Leica lenses until the current model took E39 filters.  The
current model takes E46 filters.  I do not recall anyone suggesting
anything to the contrary.

The approximate serial number ranges for the various models of the 2.8/90:

original Elmarit:		1645301	to	2731900
"fat" Tele-Elmarit	2015701	to 	2731900 (exact number unknown)
"skinny" Tele-Elmarit	2731901	to	? (1989)
current			? (1990)

My references crap out in 1988 on lens s/n's, but others with more recent
copies of Rogliatti or Laney can fill in the gaps.
