     The old chrome 90/2 is a excellent lens. (Only the Sonnar 85/2 T by 
     Zeiss can beat/compare with it) However, it is extremely bulky. This 
     odd lens (same as the black one) is made in Germany. The 75/1.4 is not 
     a good choice because it is expensive, the performance is questionable 
     and the focal length is embrassing. If a need is mid-range lens, a 75 
     is too short. If I need a fast lens, I'd chosen 50/1.4.

Hello,
     
Can anyone tell me if I can find M 75f1.4 and 90f2.0 made in Germany?  A 
friend told me that 75f1.4 and 90f2.0 were designed earlier, thus, they were 
made in Canada only.
     
I plan to buy a M6 + 24ASPH + 75f1.4 or 90f2.0.  Any suggestion?  I am a 
documentary photographer.
     
Thanks.
