Not sure if I will get a reply here, since our Leica section is not as busy as our MF section, but let's see. Feel free to chime.
Debating between the Leica M mount 90mm f2.8 (Elmarit) and the 135mm f3.4 (APO Telyt or the f4 Elmar) ? it will be on my 240.
I was set on 135mm a few days ago but then wondered maybe thats a little too long of a FL.
I have the 35/50 combo right now and was thinking of going with the 135 to complete the set, but now thinking maybe the 90mm will get more use, mainly because it gives me a bit more room to work with things I can capture.
If I go for the 135 it may be the APO or I might go for the cheaper f4 Elmar, they're very similar, not sure if one stop of light is really going to make much of a difference. Price sure does.
This is mostly for personal photography, some street photography, definitely travel, some family and friend shots, possibly could use it with an adapter for video on another body.
Let me know your thoughts. Also, you don't have to but if you've used both and have some sample images you wish to throw up and share, then knock yourself out.
If you believe this is a waste of a purchase feel free to state that as well.
Thanks
