That shallow depth of field you get with an f/2 or 2.8 really makes a portrait stand out. I've used the 90 f/2 both pre and ASPH and even on my M3 that seemed like behemoths. Didn't Leica make a smallish f/2.8 Tele-Elmarit back about that time. I had my hot little hands one once but being in college at the time I couldn't afford it even then. I always loved the look of the photos I took with my Nikon 180 2.8 and wondered if the GH1 with a Tele-Elmarit 2.8 would give me the same 'warm in the belly' feeling without having to carry a bazooka in front of my GH1?
