Subject: [Leica] 90 f/2 or 75 f/1.4

Hello,  I am trying to decide on which lens to buy fo my first leica. I
used a friends m6ttl and 75 1.4 for a week comparing it to my f100 and 85
1.4 and just finished putting the nikon up on ebay. I could not get over the
difference in quality. I do mostly amateur travel photography and have been
shooting for little over a year. My first roll on the leica was better than
my 200th+ roll on the nikon. To the point, I was reading old messages on
this list and some various reviews on the web and seemed to be getting
differing opinions on the quality of the 90 2.0 relative to the 75 1.4. I
realize that the 90 apo version is the newer and presumably better model of
the 90 f/2s available. I would rather sacrifice the extra stop in favor of
the extra focal length but I don't want to sacrifice the quality I saw from
the 75 1.4. Am I over thinking this? Any opinions appreciated.

Rick
