I think it was the 75 Summilux or 90 Summicron M. Along with the 35
Summilux (not ASPH) and 50 Summicron M. None of those lenses were
considered anywhere near as good as to competition.>>

Actually it was the three Summiluxes - 35 pre-Asph, 50 and 75.  I
remember it well because I was just beginning to look at Leica then. 
You would think a review like that would scare people off.  It got me
wondering what was so special about Leica lenses that most people "don't
get it".  Now I know.
