All: I'm in the market for the vaunted 90 APO Summicron-M ASPH, but have nothing to offer in return but my nearly brand-new (true "mint" w/all boxes, documentation, etc., w/the possible exception of the "Echte Leather" tag for the case), but under-utilized, 35 Summicron-M ASPH (black). BTW, I'm located in the U.S. TIA, Chris

what will you do without your 35, ...in case you mind

although the change seems good for you in terms of value.

R: I have a 35 Summilux-M ASPH to cover the 35 length. I know that the 90 Summicron goes for more (@ least brand-new) so I'd be happy to put up the difference, depending on the condition of the 90.

well Chris it seems like a good deal, you would have the two best reputation lenses in the leica line.

I recomend you a M3 body for the 90, realy the best body for it.

R: Got the M3 & am looking for fast "portrait" telephotos (85-90-105mm) for nightclub & concert photography. With adapters, I can use my pre-WWII Zeiss 85/2 & 1950s Nikkor 105/2.5, both in the Contax RF mount, but I'm looking to try some more modern glass. I'm considering the Nikon LTM & Canon RF lenses, too.
