Although the M9 is not too bad either, but the MM really takes the prize.

Someone also asked about the 75/1.4 and whether it is worth carrying the weight. It is lighter than my 90/2!! I like the 75 a lot when I hit the focus. It's my hardest lens to focus with digital but it's also my favorite portrait lens. I just have to take a lot of photos to be sure I get one in focus! Opinions greatly appreciated.
