However, performance was not the issue in my selling the lens. For me, with the hood, there was not much a of size difference. The weight difference was not significant either. Ultimately,I felt that the Summicron outperformed the Elmar, was not much larger nor heavier - so why tie up so much money on it? However, it sure is pretty! Bob Figlio
