Claude,

Welcome--another Belgian LUGger!

I think that you should try the 0.85 before making your decision. If you go to a
good shop like Photo Alpha, they will have both in stock and you can try them.
There is no question that the 0.85 is best for the 90mm lens. The deciding
factor should be how you find it with the 35mm lens. I have both a 0.72 and 0.85
M6, and I find the 35mm frame on the 0.85 perfectly visible even though I wear
glasses. But this is a decision you have to make for yourself.
