In addition, the focal length range 28-35-50mm is also a bit limiting. Since many people already have good 35mm and 50mm lenses, the incentive to buy a Tri-Elmar is somewhat limited. Having said all this, I am sure it would make a fine travel lens. Nathan Arthur Leyenberger wrote: > I've been mostly lurking and (definitely) learning the > last couple of weeks here on the LUG.
