Ah ... the Rokkor and Elmars for the CLs are different beasts,
Philippe. I was looking at a Rokkor for the M, but it cost 3 times as
much as the old Elmar and since I have a Tele-Elmarit, this extra 90
was more of a nonsensical purchase than a "need".

I have heard great things about the Rokkors and Elmars for the CL.
