Subject: [Leica] in search of a portrait f2 90

Why would doing portraiture with a rangefinder be bizarre?  Works just fine
for me.

Yup - If for some bizarre reason you really want to do your portrait
shooting with a rangefinder rather than a reflex, go with the 90
Summicron - It's plenty sharp and contrasty, but not overwhelmingly
either, which makes it an excellent portrait lens. I briefly owned the
90 APO, and I sold it and went back to the old war horse - and haven't
regreted it for a moment.

I want to buy a 90mm M lens for portraiture. I currently have a canadian
f2.8 90 but would like to move to f2. I don't want the ultra-sharpness
of the APO lens and I don't have the bucks for one anyway.

I want to spend under $1,000 (US).

Recommendations?

thanks

Adam
