I love this little lens! I first used it an the M8 where it was like a 90 and just great for portraits. I have bought and sold three Summarit 90's but none of them were anything like as sharp as the 75, and my other three 90mm lenses each have their own drawbacks (long throw focussing, small aperture in the case of the MacroElmar). So I use 75 for my portraits, and generally the Summarit rather than the Summilux. It is small, light, has a broad rubberised focussing ring that hits focus very quickly. I might be talking through my hat, but some lenses seems to snap into focus more obviously that others, and the Summarits 75 and 35 belong to that group. I could live happily with just this lens and the 35FLE.@Chris - how are you liking the 75mm FL? Summarit in particular?
Chris, thanks for your reply. My 90mm is by far the more challenging lens to focus, but when it nails it, I'm a happy camper. I think your 75 pairs up nicely to the 35.I love this little lens!

Thank you very much Dave, I appreciate the comment.Chris, thanks for your reply. My 90mm is by far the more challenging lens to focus, but when it nails it, I'm a happy camper. I think your 75 pairs up nicely to the 35.
@Alajuela - the third pic I like most, those facial expression in particular.
