In the "Photo Essays" section of my web site, most of the pictures in the
"Belize" and "G20" portfolios were shot with it.  In Belize I used the 24
for a few shots, and the long-lens stuff in the G20 shoot was mostly the 90
AA, but the majority of the stuff is with the current Tri-Elmar.

I LOVE this lens.  For me, an M6 .58 with the Motor-M and Tri-Elmar, loaded
with Provia 400F is my dream-of-a-lifetime rig.
