It is very sharp, contrast-y and easy to handle? Even lighter than the 80 (I think), what else u need to know - --------------------------------------------------- regards, mehrdad - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of David Strang Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 10:47 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Leica 90mm APO-Summicron-R Has anyone used the new 90mm APO Summicron? I'm looking (hoping/wishing/praying) at this lens to replace my old non-ROM 80 Summilux-R. It's rather soft wide open, gets better as it stops down, but f1.4 is not a usable aperature. As a result, I keep my old Canon F-1 with a 85mm F1.2L. How good is the 90mm APO Summicron-R? I thought Erwin rated it rather highly, but has anyone in the Group used it?
