[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have decided that I am interested in obtaining a Tele-Elmarit. Help! Which versions out there should I consider? There is a 'fat' version so I've heard. Which versions come in chrome? Is this lens have the Leica quality image? I've also heard to watch out for a rear group problem. BTW, John Van Stelton took my 50 chrome rigid Summicron and recoated the front element and cleaned it all up. This included a new detent spring and ball for the aperture ring. His price is right. The lens is gorgeous again. Now I have 2 50's the Noct and this Summicron. I love it. A 90 Tele-Elmarit would give me 2 lens outfits with wide/normal/tele combinations. Next, Focal Point is going to re-cement the 2 elements in the rear group of my early E-41 35 Summilux. BTW, the Leica Photography ad in a 1950' s magazine says 848 parts in a M3 Leica. I've also received my 1.25 mag. eyepiece and I have to say, "I'm impressed." Very quality piece of manufacturing. A nice case and removeable chain to hold and store the eyepiece. It is very short, maybe not quite a half an inch. With glasses, I can just see the 50 framelines on my .72 M4. It will see a lot of use. Thanks in advance for the usual quality responses. Jimbo - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
