For Sale: New - Tri-Elmar-M f4/28-35-50mm ASPH. later production of the
early version #38583XX - $1,595.00 + shipping

NIB - new in box - Black - just bought this lens for myself (it is unused) -
then happily located a Silver Chrome version with the help of fellow LUGers.
The Tri-Elmar is an outstanding lens in daylight conditions, I find it every
bit as good as my prime lenses under normal conditions.

I bought one of the very first ones produced, for my wife's M kit - I only
used it occasionally, when she'd let me, but when I did, it was so handy and
versatile, I realized I would probably use it for at least 50% of what I'd
be photographing when either driving and walking around.  Very nice lens to
work with - very handy.  Just got back more prints from my SC Tri-Em shot
wide open at f4 - 50mm up close of my daughter in low light - very very
nice.  I think I may have been a bit of a snob in regards to the Tri-Em in
the beginning too - thinking it wouldn't equal my prime lenses but I've
become a believer in what it can do.
I'm glad to see this lens getting recent recognition for its good results
here on the list from several users as such a versatile performer.  That's
just what I've been  getting.   Bo)

Please contact me off list.

Thanks - gold
