I've gone the route of the earlier Summicron but it is too heavy for serious gram-counting backpacking. Was thinking of either the 'skinny' 4 element or 'fat' 5 element Tele-Elmarit. Anyone care to comment on the relative merits of either (or, perhaps, compared to the earlier Elmarit)? I have one of each - in mint condition - offered to me for $750 and $850, respectively - and this doesn't bother me since both are as new (so needn't tell me I can find them regularly for $175 at shows in mint minus condition right next to the $850 Mint- M4-Ps). TIA, Curt Nicht schlecht. Ich belege einen platz! Elizabeth Mei Wong Henry Curtis Miller, M.P.A. Pittsfield, Massachusetts In the Berkshires, next door to Tanglewood
