I still think the basic issue on a 75mm lens is whether or not it is a focal length which suits your photography. Once one has decided that it is a righteous focal length for one's work, then comes the decision over which expression is best suited to one's needs. However, if it is largely a matter of what one WANTS, then logic may be discarded at will, but hang on to your sacred honor because your fortune will be gone with the wind. Or, to put it another way, "What would Thomas Jefferson do?" I think that comparing the 90mm Summicron to the 75mm Summicron is a silly way to choose a lens, but that's just my opinion.

Compare like maximum apertures.. the 75 Summicron and the 90 AA. Now what do you think? Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
