Hi again
The lack of response on the 80mm/f1.4 does that mean that no one has had any
experience with this lens?
I should perhaps just say that my Leica "experience" is just 5 days old. I
presently only have the 19mm Elmarit lens - a real beauty:)
I am looking for a dedicated portrait lens that is why I asked for the
comparison between the 80mm and the 90mm lenses.
Regards,
Tim

Thanks to all for replying. I'm very pleased
with my 90mm Elmarit 3-cams E55, but had passed
up the 'cron and was curious about it. I gather
the extra stop comes with a big weight penalty.
I am using it mainly in good light conditions,
and don't miss the extra stop.
I'm getting an Elpro 3 -- anyone had any experience
with that on the Elmarit?
