To all Leica users:

I have decided that I want to purchase an M6 with a 35 Summicron, a 90 
Elmarit, and a 50 Summicron if I have any money left over.  I am 
looking at used lenses because of the significantly lower price.  I 
would like to kno
w which versions of these lenses will approach the optical quality of 
today's lenses.  Specifically, I want to know the age of these lenses 
and any information about performance that you have:

35 Summicron 3356xxx
90 Tele-Elmarit 2832xxx
50 Summicron 3514xxx

I would appreciate any advice you have.

Aaron
