How new ? Do you need to check ESR on electrolytics or just for leaky old paper caps ?
I've heard the Sprague Tel-Ohmike's are pretty nice, but the newer models can be pricey.

Personally, I use a vintage Solar CB-1-60 and Simpson 383A Capacohmeter. Both work well for testing micas and paper caps but are somewhat limited for electrolytics.
