Advertisement Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Hi kenf, Take a look here 75 or 90apo. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
otto.f Posted May 19, 2016 Share #42 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) a simple and unambiguous question: who can tell me how to focus ( as for a normal analogue goal ) with my apo Summicron 90 f2 ? I do not think to ask for the impossible ... or nó !? If you can't after several severe trials including on tripod with a Leica loupe 1.4 or hongkong 1.25, send it to Leica for an adjustment to your RF or vice versa, because this should not be a problem if you are a reasonable experienced M user Edited May 19, 2016 by otto.f Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted May 31, 2016 Share #43 Posted May 31, 2016 the AA 90 is a wonderful lens. If you master the focussing it will be very rewarding in very low light situations. Personally, i still have to find the 75mm summicron lens which focusses just as easy as the 90mm in the same situations. I tried four of them, but they did not give the convincing result I always got from my 90 apos. ( I had a black, a titan and now I have a black one again ). 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenr Posted June 1, 2016 Share #44 Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) https://flic.kr/p/HCFuAS I'm a fan of the 90aa. Edited June 1, 2016 by keenr 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2016 Share #46 Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I have a 90mm Elmarit-M 1:2.8, beautiful easy lens for both portraits and product photography. Not an APO, I know, but when we talk of 75 or 90, my preference is 90. Edited June 1, 2016 by Guest Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwj Posted June 2, 2016 Share #49 Posted June 2, 2016 All you will ever need is a 35 and 90, the rest are just for convenience What's the 90 for? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonoslack Posted June 2, 2016 Share #50 Posted June 2, 2016 I found the 90 to be bigger than I liked to carry - maybe those 2oz are the critical ones! Still, the 75 APO 'cron is my favorite lens, and has been for some years Partly because of the look and the handling, but also because it provides the largest magnification of any of the M lenses (except the 90 macro elmar). Great for flowers and other small things - lovely for portraits with a gentle bokeh and a fine roll-off from sharp to soft. I just love mine. best 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I play with other combinations, I have always reverted back to this three lens setup for daily use and carrying. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem331 Posted June 2, 2016 Share #52 Posted June 2, 2016 21-35-75. As much as I play with other combinations, I have always reverted back to this three lens setup for daily use and carrying. I´ve settled on 21-28-50, with the 90mm sometimes replacing the 21mm. When I only take the camera it goes with the 35mm. That way most of my focal lengths get a frequent outing and do not get bored at home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregm61 Posted June 2, 2016 Share #53 Posted June 2, 2016 That would be a good setup too. Last trip, I also carried the 28mm f2.8 Elmarit ASPH and wound up shooting it almost exclusively while hiking in Antietam National Battlefield. Great landscape lens.

keenr Posted June 2, 2016 Share #54 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) As mentioned earlier, I'm a bit bias towards the 90aa, partly due to the fact it is a natural companion (in terms of fl) with my 50apo. Not the least, the perfect holy trinity if paired with both 28 and 50 fl's . If I was to pair with a 35, then i'd lean towards wanting to own a 75cron. Just like a fine wine... best qualities are revealed when properly paired with food. :-) Cheers... Edited June 2, 2016 by keenr Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indergaard Posted June 4, 2016 Share #55 Posted June 4, 2016 21-35-75. As much as I play with other combinations, I have always reverted back to this three lens setup for daily use and carrying. Agreed! After trying 15, 21, 25, 28, 35, 50, 75, 90 and 135 in multiple configurations, I've decided on a 21/35/75 kit myself. The 35 as a single lens. The 35/75 as a two-lens kit and the 21/35/75 as a three lens kit. It doesn't weigh much. It did take some while to get used to the 75mm frame lines after using many different 50's over many years. I also notice that the 75mm frame lines aren't as accurate as the 50 or 35 frame lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Tele-Elmarit M 2,8/90 in the good old days and used it at the M6/M4-P and M3 a lot. But today I would prefer a Summarit instead ! http://www.kenrockwell.com/leica/90mm-lenses.htm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
