I used to have one and swapped it for a modern Novoflex 640mm + 2x converter as I'd already 'upgraded' to the more recent 90/2. What I regret is the change of filter size to 49mm (from 48) it's the only lens in my kit this size. I use a 21/3.4, 35/1.4 (a 48mm filter fits in the series VII hood), and a Canon 50/1.4. There's also a 90Tele-Elmarit that fits in the compact leitz case, 9 filters, the M6, 2-3 rolls of film and 21mm finder. I can't squeeze the 90/2 into the compact case so its reserved for concert/stage photography. And can I second your advice to buy more film instead of lenses. If only I could heed this myself...
