90mm f/2 APO-SUMMICRON-R ASPH or 100mm f/2.8 APO-MACRO-ELMARIT-R? According to http://www.wildlightphoto.com/leica/main.html both are really great. However with all of the reading I've been doing, it seems that most if not all of the newest and/or updated versions surpass the quality of the older. I understand that the 90mm f/2 ASPH is a much newer design than the 100mm APO and has some better qualities. With that sort of thinking, I would lean towards the 90mm f/2 ASPH except it has a small amount of distortion and has "soft?" focus from 1.5 meters and closer (with lens wide open).. So now I'm thinking of going with the 100mm f/2.8. All of the qualities of the 100mm f 2.8 sounds right for me such as getting in close with high quality at all openings, however the 90mm f/2.0 ASPH is listed as having really nice "imaging properties at full aperture" and is better in all other areas due to it's newer design... I'm not sure if I would really that difference when my slides are projected on my 70 screen (with a leica projector and lens) when compaired with the 100 Elmarit. I would think so if there really is a difference in lens quality. The 100mm would probably be easier to get in close to small animals such as a kitten and face/sholder face shots of my friends when compaired to the 90mm. When I get in close, it will be more for small animals rather than people. Has anyone worked with both a 90mm and a 100mm? Why would you like one over the other?
