Actually as I was reading this thread I thought that was a good suggestion. I liked that lens when I was first looking at 90's and bought the macro which I ended up not keeping. The built in hood is quite nice and it isn't much slower and the price should be right. There should be no trouble finding them. When I was first buying lenses used 90 elmarits were very plentiful.
no because leica eventually sent me 2/90 instead of the one that they broke
I wrote the first part. It's about 18 and 25. It will be published on Lexar site in a few days. The next one will be about 28 and 35. After that I am planning on doing a comparative review on pre-asph 50 summilux and 50 sonnar. Leica seems to be interested in me doing one for 75 cron versus 85 sonnar. That probably will be the last one. Unless of course Zeiss eventually sends me the 15.
+ 1 for the Elmarit-M. I also have a 75 Summarit. The hood is a total pain, with the lens cap falling off all the time. I am not too enamoured of the way it draws either. The 90 Summarit is very similar. The final version Elmarit-M draws beautifully. It is even sharper, if anything, than the 90 Summicron, much lighter and a fraction of the price. To get a disinterested view, have a look at Sean Reid's take on this at ReidReviews.com A paid site but well worth the money in my view.
