I wouldn't. >APO I'd take for granted but it wasn't both. >Ack Ack! Doubt it. They've been working on this lens for years. >I'd think that kind of stuff could change anyway. Sharp is one thing. Brittle is another. I've seen some scenics with the 90 APO ASPH in strong side light which are just awful. I could use a compact 75/f2 but don't need a "clinical" lens for my M's. Note that the 50 ASPH is not an APO. I'll keep my fingers crossed since I enjoy the 75mm perspective a lot. >I would fully expect it to be at last as sharp as the awesome 90 APO ASPH >ACRO regardless. William
