[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have the original "fat" Tele-Elmarit and I like it fine, especially for its good contrast wide open in low light. I like it better than the original long-focus 90mm Elmarit which I previously had. In reports from others, the thin Tele-Elmarit is reportedly sharper, but I'm satisfied with my lens (which I bought new approximately in 1970). My favorite travel outfit is the 35mm Summicron (original 8-element complete with convertible mount) and the Tele-Elmarit. ---------------------------------------------------- This mailbox protected from junk email by MailFrontier Desktop from MailFrontier, Inc. http://info.mailfrontier.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "John O.
