I have the 'Thin' 90/2.8 Tele-Elmarit also.  It is a fine lens as long as
there are no light sources anywhere close to the image.  I seem to have one
of those which has the flare problem, I wish there was a fix that was
affordable as otherwise I love the lens.  The flare problem makes it a
limited use lens.
