Some have told me great results, others were not as happy. Still, at half or less than half the price of a 28 Leica lens, it remains a great bargain. The reputation on the 90/2.8 TELE-ELMARIT is mediocre, however. That probably explains why it is discontinued and replaced with a larger lens--the current 90/2.8 Elmarit.
