I personally have not used the 75 Lux but trust Guy's inputs explicitly. This guy (Guy?) knows what he is doing.

I have been using both the 90 cron apo/asph and the 75 cron apo/asph. All in all I love both these lenses and fine they do a fine job on portraits. You may want to do a little post work with blur to soften the images somewhat as they are just razor sharp glasses. I find that it is always possible to soften a too sharp image but if the sharpness isn't there you are kind of up the creek if you need it, thus the apo/asph lenses.

I really want to try the 75 Lux and hopefully can find someone who has one and is willing to give it up for a day or two to get a comparative feel.

I use the 180 apo/asph cron on the DMR and am thinking of trying the 135 3.4 on the M8 to compare. I love the 180 cron and find it's particular look to be fascinating. Anyone tried this comparison?
