I would suggest that you examine the 75 as well as the 90. Personally, I prefer the 90, and use a Summicron-R 90 a lot for 'people' shots, but I have found that some people really like the 75 'Lux, and it is a really top notch lens. Here again- you need to try both to see which matches your 'vision' of the world! The choice of the 35 seems sound- since I have been hanging around this bunch of Yahoos, I have actually started to favor the 35 over the 50! So I am stuck with a scad of 50's! The 35 is not TOO wide, but it has the edge over the 50's in scope, and depth of field- very versatile, I am finding. Insofar as the viewfinder- I prefer the older one- non .85HM even though I have glasses. I suppose it again is a matter of what make YOU feel comfortable. If you have a good relationship with your dealer, he'll let you try both, and then you can decide which meets your needs. Glad to see a new 'face' in the crowd! I hope you hang around and share your photographic experiences with us as well! Good luck, and best of light to you!
