I have tried the Elmar f2.8 and the Heliar f3.5, but in the end went back to the Summicron which in my case is the current latest LTM version which is a tad big for a LSM camera. Since I am paying the penalty for weight and size, I may try the CV Nokton 50mm 1.5 next. - Phong Jeffery Smith wrote: > > The new Elmar is a great lens, but the f/2.8 is where I run into > problems. > I carry one when I know I'll be outdoors.
