I have 24, 35 50, 75, 90. Love 'em all I think I notice something different about the 75. Beside that its the only f1.4 lens I own and that it is huge. It seems to have a " look" all its own. Not just at 1.4 but stopped down also. Do you think the current 35 Summliux ASPH fits into a "family" along with the 50 and 75? Same kind of look? Or different? The 24, 35f2 ASPH, and current 50 f2 all seem to fit together in a similar color and feel. (for me) All very neutral - best word I can come up with to describe them. The 90 Elmarit M also seems to fit there too. Does anyone else see family resemblances in any group(s) of Leica lenses? Henry Ambrose
