LFI did a comparative review in the 06/2006 issue of the 3 90mm lenses. I have the two smaller ones. The APO lens is the top performer and gives better performance at f2 than the Elmarit does at f2.8. That said, the Elmarit is compact and lightweight.

Depending on just how inexpensive the Elmarit is, you might well find it a good purchase. It's a good lens, just not in the APO class.
