A very convenient lens, to be sure. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Ernest Nitka Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2002 4:52 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] 50/2.8 Elmar Collapsible I had it and the sold it. I like it simply for the esthetics of the lens itself. I found the aperture ring in the wrong place most of the time. I loved the lens hood. As I'm sure most of us do - I remember my great pics for the camera and lens they were taken with - the bokeh of the 50/2.8 is in my opinion very pleasing. ernie On 4/13/02 5:42 PM, "Jeffery L.
