My 28-90 is fantastic. Bought from Joseph Yao and NEVER regretted ;-)
Works with the DMR like a dream for 35mm to 120 equivalent.

I for one would love to hear more about your experience with the alpha
900. It was my choice for "if I decide to use R glass and get out of the
DMR" but other comments are clearly worrying.

This is a legit. topic here TMWOT. Leica have abandoned the R and left us
waiting/looking for a future. The only real way to go "forward" will be to
use the glass on another body, once the DMR's die.
