Paid Eur 150 for my Elmarit II and Eur 190 for my Summicron II (both 3-cam and
in perfect shape).
Though if you have both a 28 and a 50mm, do you even need a 35mm? (I go for
the 35mm and leave out the other two).

My advice: Save for the later Elmarit or Summicron... You'll ultimately have
no regrets.

Chris, no more big bucks on non-digital Leica. My R3, SL, elmarit 28, summicron
50&90 do the trick for me. I`m saving for R10d and some AF vario-elmars ;-)
But I can get an elmarit-R 35mm 2-cam for 120 eur.
Maybe Ted can give some insight info?
Best regards,
Miha

These are the only samples of the lens i found on the net. Hard to judge.

Here is the rest of the R stable:

Can someone show me (or point me to) some photos (on the net) made with the
elmarit in question?
Thanks,

Sorry, Miha,
none today - seems like it never got bright at all - I won't forget though, I'm
interested to see the difference too. And, just for fun, I'll run a few shots
off a Rollei 2.8/35 mm as a comparison at the same time.
Cheers
Douglas

Xavier and Chris, yes I know about the summicron-R. Great lens but three times
the price of the elmarit-R. BTW, I have an Oly XA with 2.8/35mm lens and real
rangefinder. Also found recently at the bottom of my photo bag ;-)
Douglas from Hannover, I`m not confusing you with Doug - The Birdman of
Sacramento. Since I`ve joined of this forum, only a dozen or so members are
active, so It`s easy to follow :-( And I`m looking forward to seeing some test
shots of yours.
Best regards,

Oh duh! You already wrote it's the second version.
