Subject: [Leica] Leica 90mm Lens suggestions
From: "Phil Sudberry" <pberfx04@sisna.com>

Hello-- About one year ago I purchased a good user condition M3 ds with a
50mm Summicron. (Mid 70's I think....black, Wetzlar) I also got a 35
Summicron last year. (black, Canadian)

I'm wondering if anybody has suggestions for a 90mm lens. A good quality
used  Elmarit, Tele-elmarit, or Summicron models are probably what I'm
looking at. Any thoughts on pros/cons of each? I realize probably any of
these are FINE for my needs, but always welcome input.

Here's the twist-- I've heard/read the Voigtlander lenses are extremely high
quality and can fit with adapter to the M3.  Prices are reasonable for my
budget .  Any pitfalls to these lenses?

I am not a terribly serious photographer but am getting more so with each
passing season. I may be getting the Leica  bug.

Thanks for any ideas/suggestions

Phil Sudberry
