Advertisement Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 Hi xjr, Take a look here 75 or 90 telephoto. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Pangur Ban Posted November 28, 2009 Share #22 Posted November 28, 2009 I wouldn't see the need in going to the expense of having both the 75 and 90 summicrons as there are lots of less expensive 90's on the secondhand market. I have a 75 Summicron and the thin 90 tele-elmarit. The small size of the t-e makes it the perfect lens for the three-lens travel kit - in my case a 25, 50 and 90 combination. The 35 and 75 are a good two lens combination, though I'm not a 35 fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 35 and 75 are a good two lens combination, though I'm not a 35 fan. Its a tough one, but if you are a 35 fan the 75 makes a lot of sense, even if the lines are crappy. I find 90mm a bit long on a RF, even on a 0.85. Frame is just too wee, but the 75 is passable in size even if it looks like an afterthought. I have been thinking a long time about replacing my 50mm with a 75 and seeing how 24 - 35 - 75 works. Right now I mainly shoot, 28, 35 and 50.

kemal_mumcu Posted December 3, 2009 Share #25 Posted December 3, 2009 To get around the 75 frame line problem, try a 75 finder. Tiny and nearly weightless, the CV one is 1to1 viewing and revolutionizes using a 75. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minhhich Posted December 4, 2009 Share #26 Posted December 4, 2009 Def the 75. This lens will help you with not having to stand too far away from subject, bigger frameline meaning much easier to focus. Needless to say if you use it on M8 it will be similar to 90 and still easier to focus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miklosphoto Posted December 8, 2009 Share #28 Posted December 8, 2009 I had exactly the same question and just added an APO Summicron ASPH 90mm to my 35mm Summicron and 50mm Summilux. I actually had both the 75 and 90mm Summarits and sold them both to get the APO Summicron. 75mm is not much different from 50mm, it is basically just to take one or two steps closer to your subject. For me it was a no-brainer to get the 90mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasw_ Posted December 9, 2009 Share #29 Posted December 9, 2009 As a counter to all the pro-90 users on the first page, I will suggest that a 75/1,4 is one of the best lenses made for portraiture in 35mm. Don't pass it over without a lot of prayer and fasting Secondly, the 50 to 75 focal length jump is not a big one -- granted -- but it is significant as there are some subtleties with the 75/1,4 that are not in any 50.
