It was a black one and I was warned that it would need cleaning. It cost less than $35 so I did it more or less on a chance. It was waiting for me when I got back and looked as desribed. I took it apart and cleaned it, but couldn't get the stains in the coating off on one of the inner elements. One thing led to another and I ended up with an Elmar for the M as well (the lense cost about the same as an LTM->M adapter would have). The 90 Elmars are pretty cheap. Probably for good reasons: http://www.dlridings.se/paw/2006/34.html The screwmount one is represented here: http://www.dlridings.se/gallery/v/shoebox/2006v34/06v34-0002.jpg.html The shoebox with other samples: http://www.dlridings.se/gallery/v/shoebox/2006v34/ All Tri-X and HC110.
