Subject: [Leica] Elmarit vs. Anything Cheaper, or is this a good buy?

JD,

For the cost of a LTM to M-Mount adapter, you can at least give the J-9 
a try. If it doesn't work out and you buy a LTM 90mm Elmar or 135mm  
Hektor, you'll already have the adapter, although you may need a 
different one to activate the correct viewing frame. The other option, 
as I see it, is to buy either a 90mm Elmar or 135mm Hektor made for the 
M-system. OTOH, the Elmarit is supposed to be outstanding........ if 
your budget permits it. Decisions, decisions...............  :^)
