90mm Tele-elmarit
Howdy
I've been looking at a few second hand tele-elmarits. Was wondering what folks think og this lens. My intention was to use it on film primarily, though will stick it on the M8 once and a while. I like the relative size, plus the fact that I found a couple of "90% new examples" around the USD 500 +/- $50. My questions are:
1. what are thoughts on the performance of this lens? I understand it has low contrast and less sharp than some of the newer lens, but very compact and nice bokeh (opinion?)
2. anything I should look out for and test for?
3. any advantages of "made in Germany"? currently looking at four examples, of which only one is German made, the others being Canadian.
4. any advantages of the later body shape over the early fatter style?
My other longish lens is the 75 lux.
