Horst,
Are you talking about the first version of the Elmarit with the removable
lens head or the current version?  I have a black, Wetzlar version of the
first Elmarit and it's a gorgeous lens that's a good portrait lens when used
wide open (slight softness).
I enjoyed your post.
Regards,
Bud Cook
