Can someone recommend me a good performer within the Leica stable ? Hello again Henry; should have attached this moments ago. Lens head of first 90/2,8 Elmarit or 135/4 Elmar or 135/4 Tele-Elmar. All excellent optically when stopped down one or two stops and should be obtainable at very attractive prices. You can even get the entire lens inexpensively and simply remove the lens head for Viso use. The only 90mm I still own is this original 2,8 Elmarit. I bought the head alone from Kenny Hansen new for under $100. (when Leitz had discontinued the lens) and sent it to Wetzlar to be fitted with a dedicated focussing mount that cost $124. including shipping. So I had a new lens that Leitz had been listing for something like $350. It's a great performer and built like a tank.
