I think it's a really nice lens for street shooting and reportage type work. You can work very quickly with only one body. I don't own a Tri-Elmar, but have had a chance to play with one and I love the ability to quickly switch between 35 and 50, when shooting on the street. A friend of mine travels with his Tri-Elmar, 35 Lux ASPH and I think a 75 Summilux. Works like a charm. feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com
