[Leica] optical difference between the tele elmar 135mm?

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Hoppy,

I've missed your previous messages concsrning and concedrned for the 135. I
own the Apo-Tely 3,4/135, this one is a really 
Outstanding lens, but I use it very few for my work, maybe because on a M is
not a very comfortable lens, but when I use it I as me why I don't use it
more usually.

Good luck bidding!
Luis

Thanks Jerry. That one has more hits than almost anything in my galleries
for some reason. Also a rarity that my wife consented to posing for it,
albeit briefly. "Please look up while you walk in your garden". I guess more
separation from the subject is less of an imposition for the camera shy,
too. Not great processing by me for the BW but I'm getting more refined
there. I might repost it de-spotted some. 
Now I'm bidding on one of the APO-Telyts here in Aus. Like I need another
135... I don't have any experience with the f2.8.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy,

Really great tightly framed portrait!   I have alway been an enthusiast 
for the 135mm  length lens, having use it on my Leicas for sports car racing
shots, as well as for babies or pets where it would be intimidating to be
too close.

The latest LHSA magazine touts the virtue of the f2.8 135mm Elmarit with
"eyes", but says that hey are "a hot commodity, but try finding one"  I
dinna know they were rare or expensive.  Are they?

Jerry

a little behind in contrast, I think. Buy the Tele, take a couple of steps
back and make some wonderful tightly framed portraits.
