Here is the rest of the story. I have just purchased my 1st LEica a M6
TTL. .72.. with a 35MM ASph F1.4. I am looking for a 2nd lens. I am
considering the 90 F2 ASph or the 135MM 3.4. AS for the third lens it
would be the 21 or the 24.. Since I have been away from 35MM For a
number of years. MOSt of my shooting has been LF LAndscapes and a little
portrait MF. I was thinking on using the 90 or the 135 portrait.
<Realizing that the 90 is probably a better portrait but not as long as
the 135.. [ Does that mean I have to buy both {Ouch]..
