I own the current Elmarit-M and find it to be an excellent lens in every respect, except size. My comment was about the previous lens, the Tele-Elmarit (Type II), which is of a different construction. I have heard that this lens tends to flare. I do not own this lens. However, I do own the earlier Tele-Elmarit and find that it has a different character than the new lens. I would like to own the earlier Elmarit, because it would be an ideal lens for my Visoflex/Bellows combination. However, I have not found one yet.
