<The 90/2 Summicron is also an excellent lens, but it weighs an awful lot
<more for that extra half-stop. 
                     ^^^^It's a full stop (which means twice as much light).
If you do not need this extra stop, the (new) 2.8/90 Elmarit with
builtin lenshood is superb, compact, significantly cheaper and got 
excellent ratings in many magazines. I use this lens since nearly two
years without any disappointment or problem.
