Before 90mm I like portrait. My best lenses ever before I can afford Leica were Planar 50/1.4 and Planar 85/1.4 with my Contax RX. When I entered Leica, 50/1.4 ASPH is always with my M. I have 21/35/50 focal length now for your reference. Elmarit 90 I want to have closer look and got 90/2.8. I loved the focal length - keep me close enough for full-face portrait or capture my children moment by not getting too close. I had slight problem with focusing (due to eyesight). It's getting better significantly. My wife also likes it, because it's not too sharp. What I don't like 90/2.8 is the details. Need to stop down to f/4 and still did't some details I found in Summilux 50 or Summicron 50. I traded it for Summicron 75. Summicron 75 APO I like the color tone, dimension, sharpness, and the detail. Everything I missed from 90/28, I have in Summicron 75. The lens is heavy but my body adjusts it after a few hour. I was walking around the house and garden - very enjoyable. I am surprised I don't have a feel of Summicron 35 or Summicron 50 that I used to have before. The photo give me the tone/feel of Summilux 50 ASPH more. Maybe I think too much. Some people mentioned about non-smooth bokeh due to 9 blades - I am ok. My problem with 'Cron 75 is, the frameline of 75mm is close to 50mm. Sometimes I need to look at the lens if I use Summilux 50 or Summicron 75 (I didn't get used to it yet). The close frameline between 50 and 75 made poor photographer like me mis-composition that I want. The shop has some prestine 90/2 APO today. I traded in my Summicron 75mm for Summicron 90mm APO. Summicron 90 APO That's the focal length I am very comfortable with. May you please help for some exercise / practice with this lens during "restricted traveling". Some photo or some tips will be great while I wonder around the house. Thank you very much.
