90mm Leica M fit lenses.

[SealBeard]

Good evening all,

Just after a little advice on a lens to compliment my 40mm. I would like to start looking for a 90mm to go on my Bessa R3a, I'm not desperate for it, so I'm just looking for idea's.

There seems to be plenty of choice, both varying in price and quality. What should I be looking at for around the £600 mark?

All suggestions to feed my intrigue welcomed

I think I paid about 250 for an old one of these http://kenrockwell.com/leica/90mm-f28-fat.htm. Focus is slow and a bit stiff but it's absolutely razor sharp

I've not used one myself but I believe that Voigtlander's own 90mm f3.5 Lanthar lens delivers excellent results and seems to be about £280.

....and this lens is excellent bang for buck (so I've read).

Thanks for the suggestions chaps, I've also been looking at the konica 90mm hexanon lens, people seem to rate it very well, and for £399 not a bad price!
