Mine I could not make a good print from. It had no internal contrast. You could not get tones to separate. I was in deep Leica denial for a few years till I finally got a current Elmarit. Then zip I was back in business with Leica gain on my white backdrop. I could not figure out how I could spend $450 (used) on a lens and have it not render an image you could do anything with. And made by Leica. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Sonny Carter <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2010 11:34:05 -0600 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Rangefinder error on M9 > > On Sun, Nov 7, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > wrote: > >> The Tele-Elmarit was a disaster on wheels from the get go >> > > Mine was not a disaster, I am really happy with it for film. > > It is pocketable, discreet, light, and well balanced on an M camera. > > It just has some minor problems on digital mostly wide open, in close.
