About what year would that have been? My guess is the "fifties." I will be shopping for a 90mm sooner or later. Again, I see that the "Canada" Summicrons are about half the price of the German lenses. Are they not as good, or is this just a "collector" phenomenon? While I'm soliciting opinions, what are the relative merits of an old f2 90mm Summicron and an f2.8 90mm Elmarit? Herb - -- Herbert Kanner kanner@acm.org 650-326-8204
