Subject: [Leica] OT: Which of the 90's works with GF1/G1/GH1 best.

I'm using my 90mm Elmar-C, which I purchase in the70's with the
Summicron 40 with my CL, on my GH1 and getting some good shots but
something's missing. That shallow depth of field you get with an f/2
or 2.8 really makes a portrait stand out. I've used the 90 f/2 both
pre and ASPH and even on my M3 that seemed like behemoths. Didn't
Leica make a smallish f/2.8 Tele-Elmarit back about that time. I had
my hot little hands one once but being in college at the time I
couldn't afford it even then.
I always loved the look of the photos I took with my Nikon 180 2.8 and
wondered if the GH1 with a Tele-Elmarit 2.8 would give me the same
'warm in the belly' feeling without having to carry a bazooka in front
of my GH1?
