Elmar ( ditto the mount) Elmarit with the eyes Tele-Elmar APO Telyt. Legend has it that the Hektor and Elmarit are not too sharp near their widest F-Stop. The Elmar is in the middle of image quality The APO Telyt is the best, especially wide open The Tele-Elmar is as good when stopped down a bit Relative costs place the Tele-Elmar in the #1 position.... not too expensive and image quality right up there. But as someone else noted.... there are no 135 frame lines on an M2..... ( not a NORMAL M2 anyway.) And even on an M6, the frame lines are pretty small.... Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net
