[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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? Julian - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
