Hi Chris,

Maybe thw word which can define what I regret from my Summicron-R 90 is his
certain "warm" tones and performance,  the 90 AA is perfect, maybe too much
perfect...

Saludos cordiales
Luis

My favorite is the older Summicron 2nd Version though it's a beast to carry
around, it has a certain signature about it. It is not super sharp wide
open, but I like it.
