And they of course are not the same focal length a real "family" away and don't make fore a true real good direct comparison. Like the difference between a 150 and 250 on the Hasselblad! So IMO and experince the 90 Elmarit and 135 F3.4 APO-Telyt-M make a good team. I would pass up the 90 Summicron APO ASPH in a pinch but I think I'm doing OK the way I am. These are not light lenses already! Mark Rabiner The 135 F3.4 APO-Telyt-M does not put the 90 Elmarit to shame. I think it is harder to make a 135 so the match up perfectly.
