[Austin] I have a 90, and I don't use it much.  It is a marvelous lense.  I 
do like the 75 better though.  Perhaps with the HiMag the 90 might work 
differently...but with the .72, the 75 is perfect...

Hmmm.....just when I was happy that all my lens choices had been made, now
I'm all undecided again:-)
The 75mm is a very expensive lens which is one consideration, but I do like
the idea of the extra speed and certainly the "razor thin DOF". I'll
probably still go with the new 90mm APO f2, but I would like to hear of any
experience with it. Next month's budget is taken up with the 24mm,
viewfinder and a Rapidwinder, so I'm about 6 weeks away from buying either
the 90 or the 75.

Matt.
