Jeffery,

I'm with Ken...the current 90/2.8 is my long lens for the Leica and I love 
it.  In addition to the rest, I believe it's a fair bit smaller than the 
90/2AA, although still pretty heavy.  Last I checked it was around $750 
minty used.

It's been a little while since it appeared in my PAW...I've simplified a 
bit in my day-to-day shooting since my son was born...nevertheless, here 
are a few from earlier:

I borrowed a 75/1.4 briefly...I couldn't focus that thing to save my life, 
at least not close up and wide open...plus it felt like it was about twice 
as big:
