[Leica] Finding some lens in stock.....

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Hiya Justin. We must catch up. I've seen some of your stuff, I think, 
courtesy of Marty. The ninety is a petite f4 90 Elmar from
1956. Really really clean and such a jewel. I have to shoot some Neopan 
tomorrow to try it out. It sure is purty. Just didn't seem
right using the more modern 90 on the M3. Now I need a rigid Summicron to 
make the set.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Hoppy et al,

Aha -- another Aussie who buys his lenses overseas. :) I bought a ZM  
25 from a gentleman in Japan about a year ago, and a 50 lux pre-asph  
in Hong Kong a few months ago, too. You'll love the Zeiss lens, my 25  
is magic. I should make a lot more use of it.

Which vintage 90 is this, then? A rigid or collapsible Elmar, or  
something newer?

Best regards,
        jv
