Optical model potentials for elastic nucleon-nucleus scattering are calculated for a number of target nuclides from a full-folding integral of two different realistic target density matrices together with full off-shell nucleon-nucleon t matrices derived from two different Bonn meson exchange models. Elastic proton and neutron scattering observables calculated from these full-folding optical potentials are compared to those obtained from ``optimum factorized'' approximations in the energy regime between 80 and 400 MeV projectile energy. The optimum factorized form is found to provide a good approximation to elastic scattering observables obtained from the full-folding optical potentials, although the potentials differ somewhat in the structure of their nonlocality.
