My 90 Elmarit R is my favorite R lens, for both sharpness and color saturation.

I have heard much praise on the LUG for the 90mm elmarit, but I just can't get my lens to 'sing' like my 60mm. Images always seems a bit too soft (well, yes compared to the razor sharp 60mm), but I like deadly sharp focus. Any suggestions? - I try to shoot the 90mm at 5.6. I am usually using strobes, so shutter speed is 1/100. thanks Eric _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
