It was very pleasing to me with b & w pictures. I would say it all depends on what type of photography you want. The pre-AA 90 Summicron might not be up to the latest 90 Elmarit but pretty comparable with the old Elmarit in my book.

I am considering getting a 90 mm lens for my M6. Since the budget is tight I want to settle for something older. I am trying to figure out what would be the best choice -- the Elmarit 90/2.8 or the Summicron 90/2. Some say the Elmarit is better than the non ASPH Summicron (ASPH is out of question anyway), and I have found a couple of decently priced Elmarits from the mid 60's, as well as the "fat" one from the early 70's. I would be interested in hearing opinions about old Elmarits vs. old Summicrons, and whether the old (larger with no built in hood) Elmarit is a good choice.
