It's purely subjective, and based primarily on portraiture, but this lens is one of the main reasons I'm a Leica guy. After many years with Nikon's excellent 105/2.5, I rented some gear including the 90/2.8, which convinced me to switch allegiances. It'd be nice if it were a little smaller, and especially a little lighter, but I wouldn't part with mine. - -Aaron At 12:32 PM 5/15/2003, you wrote: >At 11:49 AM 5/15/03 -0400, Ernest Nitka wrote: > >Erik - I can't compare the two as I've never owned 90/2 but I agree 100% > >with Bob about the newest 90/2.8 - a very sweet lens with nice Bokeh.
