Re: [Leica] historical defecation then 90 Summicron

GADZOOKS!
If you already have the OED, albeit the CD-Version, cionsider this.... they
don't have a CD version of the Summicron, of which you have neither....ergo
to feel more complete, and to have a sense of fullness ( yea- not of the
wallet, but of the camera bag....) I would strongly suggest getting the
Summicron!
You will then have the best of BOTH worlds, a peace of mind that will no
doubt cause the creative juices to flow, and wealth, fame and fortune will
follow, surely as the night follows the day!

PS- I have the "FAT BOY" version of the 90 Summicron, and if the ASPH is
better, then it is one awsome chunk of glass!
