Henry, there are a bunch of different 50mm Elmars, several f/3,5 and at least three f/2,8. They will all produce excellent images but different "footprints" - as Erwin would have it - than current Leica lenses. They are all Tessar-type triplets in optical design. The best of the 50/2,8 Elmars is the one that was first sold with the Leica M6J, an updated M3 (semi M6), and I think is still in the Leica catalog. Which one are you considering?
