Then I've got a favorite aunt down in southern Illinois I'm going to visit (45 minutes east of St. Louis on Rt. 70), and an old friend out in LA. I'm trying to get tickets at a good price to get out there. My kids are teenagers so once we get there ... zip ... they disappear into a flock of cousins and I don't have to pamper them around anymore. It's a Summicron. I'm seriously, seriously thinking about picking up a modern Elmarit-M. It's still good and it's much smaller. I've even considered an Elmar. For portraits (and that's almost all I use the 90 for), it should do just fine. A friend has one, maybe I'll borrow it and try it out. Thanks for looking!
