Thanks Rei,

Summicron ASPH is a great lens, but very expensive and quite big for my
preferences.

same with me, i have the old 80s version of the 28 elmarit, it was in the
80s among my sharpest lenses, and even my acquisition of 35 lux asph and 90
AA don't diminish my opinion of this lens.  the one reason i might think
about a new 28 would be the faster cron version, if and when bonuses return
to the finance market.
