I was quite impressed with the small compact size until most of my back lighted shots came back with obvious flare. Even a hood (an oversized 12575) did not help much to reduced the flare which made the prints look generally washed out. I have not yet tried out my latest 90/2.8 elmarit but I am starting to get confused by the discussion. I was getting the impression that the best performer is the latest 90/2.8 elmarit (without a "tele" in the name), the second best is the older 90/2.8 elmarit (big lens) and the dog in the herd is the small compact 90/2.8 tele-elmarit. Am I getting the picture right or have fortunes changed in favour of the midget? Dan Khong
