If I had one lens, it would be a 90. Good luck with the tests...been there,
done that.

[OM] IMG: Playing with New Lens
I received a 1984 Leica Elmarit-R 90mm lens yesterday, and have spent some time
today getting accustomed to it. The first image explains why I am limiting my
activities. My grandson removed two possible skin cancers from my scalp on
Thursday. I'm not very attractive, but I was the only portrait candidate
available.

The second is a Silver-Sided Skipper on the Buddlei bush

The third is an unidentified very small yellow and black beetle

My first impression is that it is sharper than the lenses that I have been
using, and the images crop nicely, an obvious advantage for photos of small
insects. As for portraits, supposedly handled well by this lens, I will await a
pretty subject before offering an opinion. (The f/2 version is specifically
designed for portraits, but I chose the f/2.8 to keep the weight down.)
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
