Subject: [Leica] Re: 90mm Elmar, three vs. four elements

Has anyone here shot with both the three- and four-element 90/4 Elmars?
What are the differences (apart from a huge disparity in price)?  In the
archive, Erwin recommends the three-element as a portrait lens; is the four-
as good?

I would think the four-element would have classic Tessar characteristics,
no?

(Oh, and I've just put up a portfolio of travel photos -- mostly out-takes
from magazine shoots -- at
