What are the three different 90s?!

A 90/2.4 Summarit, a „thin“ 90/2.8 Tele Elmarit and a 90/4 Macro Elmar.

The latter two are kind of travel lenses for me, lately mostly the 90/4.

Together with the tiny but nevertheless optically very decent Voigtländer 21/4, the Macro Elmar fits into a small belt pouch such as Lowepro Dashpoint 10. This is my small travel kit, if I do not want to carry more than that and an M10/R with 50 Summilux or APO hanging over my shoulder.

Sorry @jdlaing the cartoon logo got me. I apologize.

My question was in fact for @lct who also has a similar funky avatar: You are missing one 75 in your collection of three... Summicron / Summarit / Summilux / Noctilux - can you share which one? Just curious...

Put the eggnog down. 😃

Noctilux. Just too big and heavy for me.

I am probably an alien in this forum, where many members seem to pick lenses like kids pick candy in a candy shop. 😉

Pretty sure @Ray Vonn meant to quote @Steve Ash. Anyway, I'm a bit stunned by the number of lenses some people have...

50 DR, Collapsible, E43 Lux

Maybe you are right. But my interpretation was that he had noticed that many people have asked me lately what happened with my 75 Lux. And in this forum of wealthy people, there is perhaps little understanding that money shortage can be a reason to sell a lens.

Not everyone on here is "wealthy" - that is a relative term.

All of us have more than someone but less than someone else.

Of course.  But I called myself an alien here, because I'm not a typical Leica user.  I would never have been able to buy a Leica camera if it had not been for a lucky event a few years ago.  And then I let my dream of such a camera come true.

The interpretation was right.  I seem to be one of about 5 people on this forum who haven't asked @evikne about his 75.

This is true.  There are times that I feel my kit is inadequate, but it works perfectly fine for what I do with it.  I'm grateful to be able to have what I have, but I think it's human nature to always want something a little better.   I've learned, however, that chasing perfection sometimes only results in a smaller bank account balance.  

Oh... and I use 28, 50, and 75mm.
