iaeaix Posted March 6, 2017 Share #21  Posted March 6, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) 382 grams in Contax Mount. The lens is short. Is there such a fast 75/85/90 much lighter? 75 APO is 430 grams. The lightest 90 cron is 475 grams.  If weight is critical, then the Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8 Thin is very nice at just over 200 grams and you see them go for 500USD. At f/8 they are the equal of the Elmarit-M according to Puts. Very nice classic look WO.  Cuties by unoh7, on Flickr  I think the elmarit OP is looking at is 330 grams.  On nikkor swirl. With leaves/trees it has a very mild swirl. Not a dominant trait, but it can appear as seen above.  Fall Bounty by unoh7, Nikkor 82/WO It was the all brass chrome Leica ltm 85/2, definitely more than that contax mount weight. Anyhow, I sold it and still have the 50/1.4 and 35/1.8 nikkor ltms. I like nikkor ltm lens but the all brass 85/2 is just not balanced well on M bodies. Maybe the later black version is lighter, but I'm good with elmarit, not a heavy 85/90 user anyway.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universalb50 Posted March 6, 2017 Share #22 Â Posted March 6, 2017 As for the Elmarit 90/2.8 V1 with removable lens head: it's really inexpensive, will require a lens hood, should your eyesight deteriorate can be used with OTZFO-Visoflex, and also gets you into macro territory if you use a tripod...if you want to try weird, collectible, and expensive, instead of the VERY heavy Nikkor 85, look into Summarex!
