The Tri-Elmar is an outstanding lens in daylight conditions, I find it every bit as good as my prime lenses under normal conditions. I bought one of the very first ones produced, for my wife's M kit - I only used it occasionally, when she'd let me, but when I did, it was so handy and versatile, I realized I would probably use it for at least 50% of what I'd be photographing when either driving and walking around. Very nice lens to work with - very handy. Just got back more prints from my SC Tri-Em shot wide open at f4 - 50mm up close of my daughter in low light - very very nice. I think I may have been a bit of a snob in regards to the Tri-Em in the beginning too - thinking it wouldn't equal my prime lenses but I've become a believer in what it can do. I'm glad to see this lens getting recent recognition for its good results here on the list from several users as such a versatile performer. That's just what I've been getting.
