I own the recent version of the Tele-Elmarit and it is a first rate lens,
beautifill image, small and light weight, and relatively inexpensive
compared with other Leica optics.  Highly recommended.  Have never used the
newer Elmarit, though I have heard that it is optically excellent, but a
lot larger and heavier than the earlier lens.
