Most Australians would have shortened you to Fred before your e-Mail had downloaded, but I've become wary of the "sensitivity" of this group ;-) I have a 90 Elmar C for the Leica CL and the Minolta 90M for the Minolta CLE. They have different cam angles on the focus ring, the Minolta version being more like the M series Leica lenses and the Elmar C being "steeper" I think. None the less, both seem to focus on the M3, M6 and the CLE and all photographs I've taken with the Elmar C and the M6 have been as sharp as I could have expected. Its a great lens because it is so compact. I do not own another Leica 90 but all options [bar perhaps the collapsible] seem very bulky in comparison. Most reports on this group have claimed the Elmar C will work perfectly on an M6 despite the reservations of Leica itself!
