Subject: [Leica] 90 vs. 35

Dear luggers,
    I know that this question may sound stupid for most of you, but I think
that it is the best place to ask.
    I own an M2 with a summicron 50mm. Now, I'm planning to buy my second
lens and I cannot decide whether an Elmar 90mm f4 or a 35mm. In fact, I
don't have money enough to aford an Elmarit 90mm so please don't suggest my
buying an expensive 35mm. To make matters worse I don't know much about
leica M 35mm lenses.
    On one side, I would like the 90mm to take portraits, on the other I
think that 35mm is what M2 was made for and I consider that lens usefull for
snapshots. I usually have to take photos with the camera placed on my waist
and I think a 35mm would be ideal.
    Well, I accept whatever suggest you want!
    Leically
