What about the 80/1.4R? Since I'm contemplating the purchase of one fast short tele in near future, I'd like to hear from users of the 80/1.4R: Does it also have some special qualities? How does it compare to 75/1.4M and 90 Summicrons (both M and R)? How's flare control, bokeh and sharpness? How does it balance on R cameras (especially on R7)? Or is the 75/1.4M so special that one should rather live with a partially obstructed viewfinder? Thanks. Jiri D.
