But the Tele-elmar is an awesome lens for the money. Rumours go that it is near apo quality. Only thing I know is that it gives very nice images and is fully usable at full aperture. >> Try to find a late model 135 mm, f3.5 Canon lens. This is an excellent, well constructed screw thread optic that will mount on the M cameras with a 35 mm adaptor flange. On the M3 the adaptor triggers the 135 mm frame. I have had very good results with mine. Larry Z - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
