This lens is really tempting to me. I don't particularly need low light capabilities in a 90 - the 50 Summilux is good for that. I also don't need super macro capabilities. Just a capable lens that lets me get somewhat close on the occasion that I need it. I wish I could find a good price on one. I found a 90 Summarit for a bargain price, but even though its a small and reasonably fast, it doesn't ultimately give that much better close up ability than the 50 Summilux.
