I use both the Tele-Elmar and the Elmarit. With the Elmarit, framing 
etc. is obviously easy, but it's not that much harder with the T-E. 
Take a shot, compare the result with what you see in the viewfinder 
and you've got it. Linear, it's a bit less than 3x the rangefinder 
patch. I often carry the 135 when I'm not carrying an SLR, and I'm 
shooting a variety. The effective FL of 180 is very useful and one 
I'm used to from long 180 Nikkor use. The T-E is an outstanding lens, 
and often available at very good prices. I got mine for about $200.
