90mm Elmarit or 90mm Summicron

[putnasaur]

Ok, another question about Leica lenses. What are the big differences of those lenses? I'm slowly buying Leica glass in expectation of a digital M or M digital back. My next purchase will be a Summicron 28mm. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Peace.

Images are the same at comperable stops. Selectect on the basis of speed required and how much weight you want to carry.

> [Dan, I use an 90 Elmarit 2.8, This lens is wonderfully sharp, colorful and contrasty. As a bonus is quite light and compact. They are in the $700 range in mint condition and very reasonable as Leica glass goes brand new. I don't think you'll be disappointed unless you need the 2.0 f stop.
