[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hello My experience is with the 2,8/90 Tele-Elmarit, this is a great small lens, I like his subtle middle tones at medium stops as 5,6. On the R equipment I was very happy with the Summicron 2/90R, somebody tall me that there are no M telephoto like this one..., true? The 1,25x is useful, but it take some light, the viewfinder is less brilliant with it, but nothing bad.

I use mine with the magnifier and it makes it a bit easier to focus but is not essential. This was taken with one at f4.0. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2791956 Neil -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+nbeddoe=lehman.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+nbeddoe=lehman.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Scott McLoughlin Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 7:29 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: [Leica] Recent Leica 90/2.8 - Seeking Comments and Advice I'm idly thinking about some gear additions and enhancements I might make early next year. Right now, I have some lenses between 21mm and 50mm. With the recent addition of the 28 Summicron, I think I'm pretty content in this range. So I'm putting out feelers for a longer lens. Right now, the 90/2.8 looks enticing. Not too big, built in convenient shade, pricey but not way too pricey, E46 filters like my 28/2. Any issues regarding the 90/2.8? Any "better" options I should consider? Should I wait for the Zeiss 85mm and see how she performs? Any other size, weight, speed tradeoffs I should consider? Should I spring for the 1.25x magnfier to use this lens on my M6 w/.72 finder? Right now I shoot a few short teles on my Nikon FM3a: 85/1.8, 105/2.5 and 135/2.8. So this will be my first foray into shooting a longer lens on my Leica. Thanks for any advice. Scott _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
