My thin T-E 90/2.8 (#2793385) is fine. I've had one previously (#2658616)
that was also OK. The performance of both is/was better (whatever that
means) than that of a fat one I had in the 70's. I remember shooting some
pictures with both at the same time, and deciding on the thin one.

Performance is certainly not anywhere near that of the new 90 APO-ASPH, nor
is it as good regarding resolution as my 85/1.8 AF-Nikkor, but the overall
rendition is more pleasing to me than that of the Nikkor, and in line with
other Leica lenses. It's a keeper.
