Re: [Leica] 90 f/2 or 75 f/1.4

["Jerry S. Justianto" <jsjm6@cbn.net.id>]

Hi Rick,

I also consider my 75 as my first lens, since I like candid photo.

My choice of 75 is based on considering Leica as available light and hand
held photo camera, thus extra stop and shorter focal length is more user
friendly to slower speed (you can get a good picture with 1/60) for hand
held situation.
