Subject: [Leica] Requesting opinions about the Elmarit-R 24mm

Dear LUGgers

I'm interested in the Leica 24/2.8 Elmarit-R lens for using on a dslr 
with crop-factor.

I have read there are three types:

- Type 1 (1974-90) 2 or 3 cams
- Type 2 (1990-) 3 cams
- Type 3 (1998-) ROM

My questions are:

- How does this lens perform? Are there optical differences between 
the three types?
- As the lens would be used manually with an adapter, am I right 
supposing it does not matter if there are 1, 2 or 3 cams or ROM?
- has anyone ever compared this lens to a manual focus Nikkor 24/2.8 or 
24/2.0?

Any advice is appreciated. TIA.
Didier
