Advertisement Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hi andym911, Take a look here Tele Elmarit. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
peter_n Posted March 10, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 10, 2008 Nice!! Thin or fat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym911 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted March 11, 2008 Peter, Thin version.....it is so light that it can never be one of those lenses that gets little use because it is cumbersome... andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted March 11, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2008 I have one myself. Cracking little lens. I don't know if yours came with it's lens hood, mine didn't, then after I got it I also bought a 135/4 Tele-Elmar with hood and the two lenses share the same hood! I find the one drawback with the lens is it's slight susceptability to flare so getting the "free" hood was great. Enjoy the lens! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym911 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted March 11, 2008 peter yes mine came with the rubber hood....works fine so far but have yet to push it into a flare situation..will do my best to avoid if at all possible as I hear from others that it is prone to flare.... still a cracking lens tho' andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted March 11, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 11, 2008 Andy I have the rubber hood too but there is a metal hood, Leica part nr. 12575 that comes with it's own lens cap Leica part nr. 14033. They come with the 135/4 TE but fit the 90/2.8 thin TE is well. Very, very nice hood - my rubber one is looking a bit worse for wear... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted March 12, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 12, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) peter yes mine came with the rubber hood....works fine so far but have yet to push it into a flare situation..will do my best to avoid if at all possible as I hear from others that it is prone to flare.... still a cracking lens tho' andy Andy, you won't have to try hard - it flares like a pig !! I was really impressed with the results and then I shot a wedding on film and used my thin Elmarit for back lit close-ups of the B&G during the Ceremony - CRIKES. Great lens to have around though.

Rolo Posted March 12, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 12, 2008 Andy, thought I'd disposed of the images, but here's one. Some were much worse. I was using the rubber lens hood which should be longer IMO. The lens is a fabulous buy at the price they go for. Rolo Welcome, dear visitor!

andym911 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted March 12, 2008 Rolo thanks for the warning and indeed the image posted...Actually the image looks good how it is but I get what you mean:) I will refrain from shooting when it's light:D thanks again andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telewatt Posted March 12, 2008 Share #10 Posted March 12, 2008 I did a lot of my music pictures with this lens, great lens! but like Rolo told you..be carefully with flare.. ...I sold it for a APO Summicron because of that...but "on stage" the danger for that is quite often.. ..in normal situation I had no problem with this lens... regards, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbretteville Posted March 12, 2008 Share #11 Posted March 12, 2008 Here it is with the 12575 hood. Great thing about the hood is that it reverses on the lens for easy storage and top it off with a 14033 hood cap you're all set. That helps a lot with regards to flare, but if the sun is low and at the right angle it still flares quite a lot (this is from mid January when the sun is very low here): Welcome, dear visitor!
