[Leica] The Tele Elmarit 135 Is So A Real Pooch of a Lens

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (Buzz Hausner)]

Upon reflection I have decided that you guys are actually right.  The 135
f/2.8 was the finest lens ever marketed by Leica and it sets the standard
for all rangefinder lenses.  Based on your comments, I have come to the
conclusion that the 135 Tele Elmarit...with eyes...represents the pinnacle
of optical design achievement and EVERYNE should rush out and buy one.
Right now.

There, is that better?
