Leica 90mm summicron m vs asph lens

[Ko.Fe.]

I don't have any issues at all using my M2 with a 90mm. Don't understand what all the fuss is about.

If you don't, it doesn't mean same applies to all of us. For some of us 50mm is small in VF of non M3 already.

Horses for courses. Maybe you should get an SLR.

I have them. You don't? Go get one. Teles means SLR. You will ditch M2 and 90 in no time. Many professionals back then did. Nikon with tele, Leica with wide.

Again, it is nice to have small 90 Elmarit-M or Elmar 90 ltm. Just because

I have SLRs too - Hasselblads and a couple Nikons, but I've been using rangefinders for more than 50 years (certainly longer than those new-fangled SLR things ;-). Just works for me. I wasn't saying that rangefinders are appropriate for really long lenses, but a 90 on my M2 and 135 on my M3 work fine.

90MM frame lines with my M2:

90mm frame lines and the lens still intrudes on the frame.

So do my fingers sometimes. Doesn't keep me from making and selling photographs.
