<< I must say that while I am basically happy with my 90 Summicron, I had a
 chance to play with a 75 1.4 at the Hunt Show here in Boston. Based just on
 the couple of shots I took, the 75 is definitely a superior lens >>


I like both of these lenses.  I had the 75 first and was reluctant to get the
90.  However, I went ahead and got one and am happy I did.  While the 75 is
somewhat better optically, the 90 2.0 is not bad.  It is not as good as the 90
2.8, but it is still pretty good.  The 75 is not as good for me for taking
tight head portraits.  I find the 90 2.0 better.  

However, I an eager to get a new 90 APO.  Does anyone know when this will be
out.  It is March - the supposed arrival time.
