even greater than the 75 lux's technical qualities of contrast and sharpness
(which many would agree are surpassed by the 90AA) the 75 lux has a real
pictorial style (or fingerprint, or "mandler look") that seems tailor-made 
for candid people photography.

i think these images show this off to excellent effect.
