The Tri Elmar is dead (28-35-50). It was a great combo for film shooters, maybe not wide enough for those that went with the Leica M8. In some ways my thoughts about a Leica Tri Elmar with the focal lengths of 24-50-75 could hit a cord with both film and digital shooters.
For us old film shooters the 24-50-75 (or 90) was the perfect 3 lens combo to go shooting with. With the 1.33x FOV factor a 24-50-75 lens becomes a 32-67-100 FOV. In either format it becomes the perfect storm in FOV IMO. And for those of us that still carry a film M body - it reduces what we need to carry around.
I can see myself carrying the "MATE", a 35/2 or 35/1.2 and the CV 15 along with my M6 and M8 bodies....
