You like its 'fingerprint;' 2. You need/want a 75 mm lens, and only a Leica lens will do for you; 3. You need the fastest 75 mm lens that money can buy; 4. You need one 1.4 lens and you don't have a 50 or 35 1.4 If you don't need the 75 mm focal length - and have another 1.4 - get rid of it; If you need a 75, but don't need a 1.4, sell it, buy the very nice Cosina 75, and do something interesting with the money you'll recoup; If you don't need a 75, but need a 1.4 and don't own another, consider selling the 75 and replacing it with a used 35 Summilux ASPH, or with some sort of 50 1.4 (I'm partial to the 50 1.5 Nokton, but I know there are people who don't like it. The point is that before you can decide whether to keep or get rid of the lens, you need to know why you'd be keeping it. B. D.
