I used to use the summicron 90 before buying recently a 75.I don't regret
my choice. The 90 has an old optical formula (1980) that I consider not
superior to  the first version (detachable head)of the 90 I had too.
Moreover the frame for the 90 is too small in the viewfinder (except the
new one for the m6 hm).It is difficult to "enter" in the subject.
A new 90 summicron is announced.
