Leica Tele-Elmarit-M 2.8/90mm (Leitz Canada, 1974–1990)

The simple CL design f4 , also has detectable colour fringes at some edges when enlarging quite a lot, but not something disturbing at normal A-4 size. Especially easy to ignore in view of its compact size and cheapness (it can be lost or damaged without causing great regret).

I have lent my comparably sized, slightly faster 90mm Apolanthar away, so no comparison can be made yet. According to Erwin Puts that one is on a par with the better leitz creations. For actual use both are peferable to the Apomacro 100mm which cannot easily fit in pockets.
