Re: 135 Elmar M f/4 or Elmarit M f/2.8 - Considering buying, a few questions?
Only a word of caution. I tried the trick of rotating the lens past the stop to bring on the 90 framelines, but I found them way far off. Not so much at infinity, as you'd expect because all the frames are too small at infinity so the 90 frames are less than the 90 actually shows (though still more than the 135). But at close distance you really have to allow about 30% all around or else you cut off major parts of the subject. So if much of what you want to shoot are subjects inside maybe 20 ft, then probably the Elmarit with the eyes is a better choice. Personally I think a 135 finder frame would be for me a much more useful upgrade than a friggin' glass LCD cover.
