Point 1. was the reason for buying a new one and not trying to find second
hand example.

Point 2. - I'll have to wait and see, the frames are popping up ok at the
moment.

Point 3. - Don't know yet.

I had use old Tri-Elmar for a while, but
1.The lens did not have deep of field scale, now it was changed.
2.When I changed focal length i.e. from 28mm to 50mm the proper frame did
not jump to place on my M6TTL (0.72), sometimes. The new  Tri-Elmar has the
same mechanic. After few rolls of film, what will be your experience?
3.From a user ( not technician) point of view, I did not have chance to
compare Tri-Elmar against any single focal length lens. Is the difference
visible?

New Tri-Elmar is on my list ‘next to buy’. I’d like to have decent 28mm and
specially 50mm, until next 50ies generation comes up.

Thanks,
Victor
