Can please someone prevent me from buying a bargain 90mm collapsible?Its risky to use on a digital M, and I own enough unused 90mm lenses for the rest of my life.
If I buy a chrome lens, I should also buy a chrome M body!

The thin and fat Elmarits are the same optical formula,
That was my question as well. So optical performance is identical?
I have the 90 Summicron Canadian version and I find it very difficult to accurately focus. The only way I have ever been able to get consistently tack sharp focus is with a friends M10 and the new electronic visoflex attachment that reads focus directly off the sensor. With a film body I can't get the focus perfect.
Personally, I think that anything much longer than a 50 is better on an SLR than a rangefinder.

I forget the details, but I think it was either F4 or 5.6. It wasn't wide open as I almost never shoot wide open unless I need to due to low light levels. It wasn't a moving subject, so I had plenty of time to rack the focus back and forth to find the optimum on the rangefinder patch.Craig are you talking about wide-open focus accuracy? I have owned the 90 Summicron (2 copies) & don't use digital. If i ever had focus problems on M cameras, it was either due to subject movement or operator error....

This was on a Bessa R3 that I had trouble, but other Leica lenses on that body were in focus, so I don't think the rangefinder was out of alignment.
As focal length is zero/unknown, DoF is infinite eternal.Gee, no one commented on the pic of my 90, er, the blank CM. Post #26. It really is blank, no funny business. Was it a bad day at quality control? Or, the morning after an all-nighter? Anyway, it got out of the factory without the 9 in front of the CM. It is still a great lens and a favorite on my IIIF red dial.
