Please let us know, Don. My 135 TeleElmarit has been my biggest Leica
disappointment. Even at middle apertures on a tripod with Velvia, images
remind me of an early zoom lens I used years ago on a Ricoh Singlex. The
glass is perfect and nothing rattles - has anyone else had experience with
poor images and had Leica or other repair fix the poor performance?
