Walter, pray, try not to post bosh like this. Yes, there can be a problem with the skinny Tele-Elmarit. But it only affects a small percentage of the production run, and these lenses are otherwise delightful. I would suggest that a potential buyer be cautious, but a sound skinny Tele-Elmarit is a wonderful lens, in every regard.
