Because of it,s size or were there to many hairs on the rat,s ass? simon jessurun | Yup - If for some bizarre reason you really want to do your portrait | shooting with a rangefinder rather than a reflex, go with the 90 | Summicron - It's plenty sharp and contrasty, but not overwhelmingly | either, which makes it an excellent portrait lens. I briefly owned the | 90 APO, and I sold it and went back to the old war horse - and haven't | regreted it for a moment. | | B.
