Subject: [Leica] Which 90 M Lens?
From: Julian Topley <julian.topley@usa.net>

I have been pondering over which 90mm lens to get - a new 90mm 2.8 Elmarit
with $200 rebate or the previous version of the Summicron (11137).

From what I have read, the Elmarit is the better performer despite the one
extra stop and perhaps this is the one I should consider unless of course I
decide to eat tinned ravioli for the next six months and go for the current
Apo-Summicron Asph.  The only other thing that puts me off this lens (other
than the thought of eating tinned ravioli) is the fact that it is only
available in a black anodised finish, however I am sure that I will soon be
reassured that the finish makes no difference to the pictures that you will
take with it!.

Perhaps the Elmarit with the 1.25x magnifier and 3 months of eating tinned
ravioli?
