OK, I'd like some recommendations for a good portrait lens for the M9.
I have a set of the "modern" Leica lenses (28 cron, 50 lux asph, 75 cron APO, 90 cron APO, 135 telyt). I'll probably sell the 75 cron and keep the 90 cron, but haven't decided for sure.
Those are all razor sharp, and have the newer (some call "clinical") look.
What I want to add is a portrait lens that has the character of older Leica glass, such as the 50 pre-asph lux.
I'll be using it on the M9, so something in the 75-90mm range is ideal. The 75 lux is an obvious choice, but is a bit too bulky and expensive. I'd like to look at other options.
So please post your recommendations for portrait lenses with nice character, and also post a sample image or two if you can.
Thanks,
Mike
