I switched to the Elmarit 90 and much prefer that lens. Smaller, lighter, handles better... I added the 90 AA Summicron when it came out. That is an incredible lens. If I were you, I'd look for a good deal on one of those used. - --Jim - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erik van der Meulen" <e.van.der.meulen@avondel.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 1:14 PM Subject: [Leica] Summicron 90 advise > Deal List - > > For a little while I have been looking for a Summicron-M 90 lens.
