[LRflex] Re: More contRoversy!

Jerry, I  have the 135mm Elmarit R and although it is a very good lens, it 
is not a match for the 135mm Tele Elmar that I have.  One lens that does 
perform very well on the  Canon 20D is the 90mm Elmarit R late version.  It 
is extremely sharp in normal mode and in macro mode with the ELPRO 3 
mounted.  In fact  I couldn't believe how well it does for closeups with the 
ELPRO 3.
