Kim, for reasons I'm not sure I can pin down, the pre-APO 90mm Summicron-R is a lens I can't let go of even though I also have the superb 100mm APO in my toy box. Maybe it's because I've used it most on my kids (and now, grandson) that I have an emotional attachment to it. OTOH the creamy bokeh and rich colors and something else make the 90's images pop out at me. Shortly after purchasing the 100 APO I wondered out loud on another list whether since I now have the 100, I ought to trade the 90 'cron for the 80 'lux - a real speed lens. I was deluged with "you'll regret it" responses. It stays. http://www.wildlightphoto.com/leica/90R20.HTM Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
