If you have a 135mm Tel-Elmarit with a builtin shade and is willing to trade for 90mm Tel-Elmarit, let me know. I am willing to work out any reasonable price difference. Thanks.

Regards, Chi

Chi, I have a 135mm f2.8 Tele-Elmarit with a built-in shade. I might be willing to trade. Tell me more. Respond off-list if you like.

Chi:

I read your request and looked up in my books what you are looking for. The 135 Tele-elmar is f:4.0 and shaped like a normal lens. The 135 Elmarit is not a TELE but is a 2.8. The 135 Elmarit has the goggles or auxilliary viewing attachment and is quite bulky. Which lens are you looking for?

Sorry for the confusion and thanks Mark for clearing things up. I am looking for the f4 tele-elmar with a built-in shade. The lens weight is an issue for me and I prefer the lighter one. Thanks.
