The 2.5/90 looks like a viable alternative to the ZM 4/85 Tele-Tessar, although both lack the built-in lens hood (why?) and I prefer chrome. Still looking for a used late chrome 2.8/90mm Elmarit-M. Jan ... On the other hand Leica has their Summarit line which are much lower in cost, just a bit more than the ZM offerings, and a max aperture of 2.5, and actually Leica designs, made by Leica in Germany. And performance and build are up to Leica specs. You may want to take a look at them as an alternative to the more expensive Summicrons, and Summilux's. Several LUG members have them and like them.
