[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have used 135's (Hektor, Elmar, Tele-Elmar, Tele-Elmar-M latest) with LTM, M2-M6 (never M3 or HM) and have not ever noticed a problem re: focussing inaccuracy even wide open. As to the small framelines, I have always used the BL finder (as I do likewise with 90mm) for framing. The 135's are IMHO amongst the best of the Leica rfdr lenses.
