Sometimes, I need it to cut out telephone wires and other man-made things. Infrequently, I use it for portraits. Here, an SLR with a 90-degree viewer would generally better. Unfortunately, I do not own a 90mm lens for my SL2. I have a book by Eisenstaedt which includes several magnificent photographs taken with the 90mm lens on an M or LTM camera. Would you care to comment on your travel kit. I generally also carry a 50mm lens, which is my main lens. The 35mm lens is especially useful in Europe or indoors where close distances do not permit the use of a 50mm. Incidentally, I love the 35mm Summicron. For this reason, I do not understand why there are so many of these lenses on the second-hand market and why their prices are so high relative to new lenses. Best of Light Chris
