If you demand performance wide open it's no contest, go with the 90 APO. If cost is a consideration, as it was with me, go with the 90 Elmarit which is a very, very good lens for the money (Leica-wise), but is no good for very low light. I myself am waiting for day I can get a 75. It's one of those special lenses as far as I'm concerned.

I would be happiest with an 85mm. ( that means a 90mm) :) Here's the deal...not having access to any of the 90's, or the 75, I don't know what lens to look at. I'd prefer the speed, but I am equally concerned with the optical characteristics. Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, photographer of the century...HCB, then Robert Frank.
