Subject: [Leica] 90mm APO Summicron M Asph Price Range

Good comments. I have not detected any back- or front-focus issues, and I 
haven't looked for focus shift as the lens is stopped down. My real issue is 
that for one or more reasons I only hit the focus critically right about a 
third of the time. I've spent a lot of time on my way to concluding that 
it's user error rather than a problem with the lens. 


The result is that I have the world's biggest, heaviest, most expensive 
f/2.8 Leica 90mm rangefinder lens. :-( I am trying to figure out whether I 
should just bite the bullet and go with an Elmarit-M or possibly a 
Summarrit-M 90mm instead. 


Thanks 
John
