On the other hand, I find the 90 APO-ASPH a dream lens to use and that closely matches my 35 Summicron ASPH in performance. Since I also have the Noctilux and 50 Summicron, I guess I fall into number 2. When I was deciding on lenses, I was convinced that the 35/90 or 35/75 combo was right for me. However, I could only afford the 50 Summicron to begin with and my system grew from there. I really like the M6 system I have and am now looking at an R8! Rick - --
