I also remember your saying that you got a much higher hit rate with the 80/1.4R than you do with the 90 apo M. It does seem to me that the R8 ground glass would be a much easier way to shoot a mid-tele, but I like street-shooting and the R is a bit cumbersome for that (still want one, though). My latest thoughts are a two body kit--Hexar RF and my .72x M6 TTL--with 35/1.4 asph and 90/2.8 lenses (this over the apo for portability and for sharing the same thread size for my universal polarizer). I may be tempted toward a 28 (elmarit of new asph) in the future, as I love that focal length for street candids.
