Does Anyone Have Photos out of a 135mm Elmar

[trittium]

I purchased one of these lenses on ebay at a redonkulously cheep price. The only problem is that my M2 is getting CL'ed and hopefully fixed. I neeeeeeeeeeed to see something though this lens. It has been sitting in my draw for a week. I mean I take it out and look at it, but that is making me more impacient. Is it a good lens?

It blows the Hektor F4.5 out of the water as far as I'm concerned......both the 90mm F4 Elmar and this lens are very underrated...... and you just can't beat the prices.....
I'll see what I can dig up.....

PS: Does the M2 even call up the 135mm framelines? I thought the M2's just had the 35/50/90 lines, I may be wrong....

It doesn't pull up the framelines, but I have the Leitz universal viewfinder. It isn't the best for 135 but it will do the trick.

I actually have the collapsible 90 f4 Elmar as well. It is sharp, and compact

Not too bad....M3, Portra 400VC, F11 @ 1/500th...

Here are two taken with a 135mm Elmar..... a pre-war, uncoated f/4.5 model. Yours should be an improvement contrast-wise.
