Naturally I cannot afford an APO, but the Elmar and Tele Elmar are superb. I can't imagine that the APO could be that much better for 8x12 prints. I wonder if a 135mm frame could be put in my M2? I don't trust an external 135mm finder for accuracy. Jerry Robert Clark wrote: > Last fall, I purchased a 2.8 Elmarit 90mm lens and have really enjoyed > using it on my M6TTL .72.
