The Elmar M 50 I?ve used was the last one, I liked very much the creamly and smooth tones of this lens, but I?ve sold it some years ago for two reasons, the main reason was because it not have a focusing tab and this made a problem for me, the people who know me knows I had an accident long time ago on my left hand and this limit the possibilities of use certain lenses, the second reason is because 2.8 is not enough fast, I have several 50?s and I prefer use the faster ones.
