I'm in the dark about these lenses in the M-series, so I appreciate any `user' feedback. I'm really a wide-angle sort of shooter and have always felt that rangefinders (for my use), don't need anything above a 50 - but plently below. M's are now going to be my only camera, so I do need that extra length, but I can't imaging carrying the 75 or 90 out much. I also like to travel light. If I'm not going to use it a lot though, the 75 is a lot of money. Thanks, Matt. >> Matt, If your main preference is the wide spectrum, and you want to travel light, I'd suggest the superb 90 Elmarit-M 2.8, which at 410 gms. is 3 ounces lighter than the 90 APO and 5 ounces lighter that the 75. Or if cost is important get a good, clean 90 Tele-Elmarit 2.8, a wonderful short tele and even lighter, just watch out for any fogging on the rear element. Good luck Jim
