I think the ultimate in the 90mm f/4 Elmar was the 3-element flat bezel 
flat field Elmar.  It was originally produced in screw mount. When the 
demand came for the M-mount, they glued the bayonet to the screw mount.  
Later they just made the bayonet mount.  I should have sold mine years 
ago... except the utility value of the removable head to mount on the 
Visoflex was too great.  (I think I posted this here about 15 years ago, 
so as my wife would say, "You are repeating yourself, again").

Regards, Bill Larsen
