Subject: Re: [Leica] 75 F1.4 vs. 90 F2 Apo Asph: Best with M6?

<<I have not used the 90, but the 75 seems to be just perfect for my 
work...I'd like to try the 90 some day, but I think it's just a little too 
close for me!  I have a .72 M6, and if I was going to use the 90, I'd 
probably want the .85...

My personal opinion is that any 90 on an M camera does much better with the 
higher mag. Be it an M3 or a M6 HM. That is not to say that you can't do it 
without the HM...it just is a lot easier on they eye. (less out of focus 
pics!<g>)

BTW, the new 90f2.0 is both APO and ASPHERIC. It is clearly one of the better 
lenses that Leica has made and handily beats the 75mm in every arena but 
speed.
