I also used the 90 and 135 extensively shooting the entire Lewis and Clark trail in May 1999 claiming out or my truck parked precariously by the side of the road as the sun was going up or down. ...in the wide open country and all kinds of country the 135 really came in handy over the 90 and was really needed. I switched back and forth between these two lenses and the switches were necessary and worth it. The little framelines are no big negative deal. You can see the image just fine. A little rectangle is fine. More than fine it's vastly preferable for me than staring at a zoomed in tunnel vision groundglass where you don?t get the Gestalt. Leica M rangefinder shooting is not just a wide angle thing. It's a very viable longer lens thing. With Leica state of the art cutting edge glass its an experience which is really worth it.>> I couldn't agree more or have said it better.
