...yes, this is the old one (1965) but a realy great optic..(leica needed 35 years to do a better one and the difference is marginal..

I miss the frame

Jan,

I like the photo, it has a nice geometrical expression and the people on the bridge give a feeling for size.

Thank you Jan. I presume it is the Elmar rather than the Hektor? I ask because I skirmished with the idea of getting a Tele-Elmar but still like the idea of a good Elmar.

Jan I hadn't realised that the tele-elmar was introduced so long ago as 1965.

Love the geometry and the symmetry that you've found in the shot, which lends itself so well to black and white !!
