I had a little good luck years ago before the polishers from around the world drove the prices beyond reason. I lucked into: 1. 85 mm. f/1.5 Summarex near mint 2. I80 mm. f/2.8 TeleElmarit for Visoflex used but nice Are they neat toys ? Yes. Are they any better that the phreak behind the camera ? Probably. Have other lenses equaled or surpased them? Probably. for some things. But not all. All I can say is that I enjoy them when I get the chance, which isn't often enough anymore. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
