For example, any of the 35mm Summicrons and the wonderfully small and light 90mm "Skinny" Tele-Elmarit are all eminently pocketable. Although if you're using LTMs, the Tele-Elmarit won't help you, there are a number of 90mm Elmars that should fill the bill quite nicely. Hope that helps, Art Peterson - -----Original Message----- From: Jason Hall [mailto:JASON@jbhall.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 3:17 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Vest/jacket pocket's I have a couple of LTM's no M's sadly, but even the screwmounts are a little too large and definately too heavy to slip into the pocket of my jacket/vest/trousers (pants?) or anything else. What kind of jackets do you guys wear? Dont they sag on the M side or do you have to carry two for balance? Jason (wishes he could get away with a leica in his pocket) Hall
