I am extremely happy with its performance. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/Dad_portrait.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/2vevq8> You can de-fang it for a more romantic style portrait with our friend, Photoshop. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/F2/Casual+_portrait_+ver+2.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/2vm8hx> Handling wise, it's a compact package on the camera, partly of course because it's a 2.8. I think that the 90AA is acknowledged as technically the very best. It is considerably larger (a stop faster of course) on your camera, which may or may not be significant for you.

I've looked at the summicron 90, the VC Lanthar 90, the Elmarit 90 and the VC 75. Any comments on which to consider? TIA... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . w a d e h e n i n g e r u s e r e x p e r i e n c e a d o b e s y s t e m s , i n c _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
