     BUT:
     
     The second, "skinny"(?) Tele-Elmarit is NOT Leitz No. 11250.  (Rather 
     it MAY BE, just off the top of my head, 11801; but I CAN'T recall for 
     certain without checking.)  Leitz No. 11250 is the collapsable rubber 
     lens hood for that Tele-Elmarit lens (works on 135mm Elmar lens too), 
     which goes with the No. 11251 Filter Retaining Ring and 11252 Snap-On 
     Lens Cap.
