What is a ZM 85/2 worth these days? I have one as well as Leica lenses 
around that length, I think the Zeiss is preferable for portraits over 
modern Leica 90s unless you want a crisper looking image - there is 
something about the colour from the Zeiss which is different...

I am thinking about trading in my ZM 85/2 for a Summarit, least of all is 
that I can use the $ difference and the lighter weight.

I presume that is "no bad lens" in Leica's line up but any personal 
experience? I am most interested in the portrait distance for this lens.

Thanks.
