	--> As concerns a 75mm Summicron, R and M:
	     for the f/2, you may be off and might as well
	     go crazy and buy the 75mm f/1.4 that's staring
	     at you $o lovingly.
	     Otherwise, try your luck for a f/2.8 75mm Summicron
	      "vaporware" beauty and start saving the price
	      or first installment [ ! ] of an Elmarit f/2.8 90mm:
	      Great things come in small packages...
	      goes the French saying.
	      The winds of Solms may yet hold happy surprises...
	      I'm an old hand at sales and I'm convinced you're
	      trying to resist getting the 90mm that IS
                      within you reach and delivers lots and lots
	      for the money you part with, and VERY DEFINITELY
	      would open up your photo bag to so much more !
                      Go ahead and make the jump: life is so short.

	     Andre Jean Quintal

	--> PS: Would you be an established customer,
	      I'd offer a 30 / 60 / 90 arrangement or
	      a 50 / 25 / 25 three month deal. Perhaps should
	      you speak to you photoshop manager or owner ???
