Subject: [Leica] M Summicron Apo Asph 90/2

Guys,

I'm so impatient waiting for these to be generally available...the M Apo
Summicron 90/2 Asph!!!! I know the large ground aspheric element has caused
a production bottleneck. I picked up a M 90/2.8 Elmarit absolutely new with
U.S. cards very cheap at a swap meet. But don't use it hoping I can unload
it and get the 90/2 Apo.

I use Kodachrome 25 religiously and due to its contrast its particularly
vulnerable to vignetting. A couple shots on the Elmarit show its very sharp
across the field at full aperture and very uniform in field illumination.
Its a much sharper lens at full aperture than the tele -Elmar 90/2.8 of
which I tested two
examples next to it. I was wondering does anyone who already has the M
Summicron 90/2 Apo also use KM 25?.... and what can they tell me about
vignetting at full aperture or performance relative to the M Elmarit 90/2.8?
