Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum. I do need a 135mm Leica lens for shooting a stage show. Don't know wichone to chose. The 2.8 tele-Elmarit seems a good choice since it's for a relatively lowlight situation. But I guess a Elmar f4 could be fine.

Any advice?

I'm on a budget (yes it's not a good idea not to have a lot of money when using Leica, but that's the case here)

Must not pay more thant 350$ (that's really the top) for a good user. If you have ideas or even a lens for me, please say something!!!

Yours,

JFN

For your use I'd look for a goggled elmarit as focusing will be easier. That said I own a Tele-Elmar which is a great lens and you should be able to find one at a good price. Mine is from 1973 and it looks brand new. If you'll be able to find one within you budget I can't say.
