The 90 Collapsible Elmar (1954-69) had the earlier four element design. Lucien >> Yes, sorry, I should have been more precise. Leitz used the same code, 11830, for *both* the 3 and 4 element rigid Elmars. My Hove pocket book states that the collapsible is optically identical with the 11830 but doesn't make it clear which version. DT
