I haven't used any of my Leica gear in literally years, and I recently decided to sell off the excess while there is still a market for it. So my extra 35, 50 and 90 are now gone, but I've decided to stick with my core lenses; 12, 35, 50, 75, 90, and 135. The 135 is theoretically for sale, but I think I'm asking too high a price for it to move, which is probably OK for now. When I bought the 90/2 ASPH I used it in situations where I formerly would have used the 75, if that helps your decision making process at all. But I found the 90 to be a bit "harsher" than the 75, so if I were still a heavy user of my M system, I think there would still be a use for my 75. I'm taking a non credit photo course right now, and I will be using my M6 with my old 35 for it, so maybe I'll catch the bug again. -dan c.
