The ONLY critereon you should use to buy a lens, if you are a user, who is serious about your pictures more than your camera (this I am quick to note is not the only legitimate kind of Leica user! Please no flames!) then get the lens that gives you the aperture that meets your needs. If you like available light, and you do a lot of it, the 75 1.4 Summilux is the lens to get. It's superb. But it's heavy, and expensive. The 90 Summicron is going to give you better pictures at f/2 than the Elmarit. It's a good compromise. If you don't need the speed, the Elmarit will save you weight, money and will be superb in performance. They are all Leicas, and will give you wonderful images. Find one in your price/speed range, and jump on it. =================== Eric Welch Grants Pass (OR) Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB chair Zen master to hotdog vendor: "Make me One with everything"
