[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks Frank. Solms haven't rung me up and offered to swap it for an M8, so use it I will. I have also read very good reports on its performance compared to the APO Telyt. This is the main reason that I bought it. I happen to like 135s as a portrait lens as well as providing a modest tele ability. Posts must follow.

The 135 Tele Elmar is not considered a really valuable collector lens. It is, primarily a user lens. In fact, Marc believes it is almost as good as the current version, APO and all. Since you are happy with the cost, Use it and enjoy it... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
