Finally one day I was heading out on a long walk and i was up for a change; needed some reach for the shots I kept on seeing and i put on the 90/2AA (Summicron apo Asph). An awesome pice of glass it did not feel like a step down. In some way it felt like a telephoto Noctilux - I'd never had a long lens this fast when i was shooting Nikons. Both lenses are such a nice pair of gorgeous glass what other camera system would we have such a nice set of gorgeous glass surfaces like that that you could look at in your spare time? Anyway i found it was entirely possible to shoot wide open with something other than a Noctilux and the results were in some ways better but certainly different. I wend back and forth between the two lenses at that time and still do know. They are my fast lens subject isolation set. It would be nice if i had a fast wide to compleat that set: The Summicron 28 or Summilux 35 Asph. But for some reason I'm OK with this pair of optics. Two's company three's a crowd. Does an Summicron 28 or Summilux 35 Asph isolate your subject? (Wide open?)
