After I've decided that I liked the 28mm focal length on the wide end, I figured that I should get a 90mm lens to round off my kit.  I wasn't sure which lens to get, so I've been looking at a lot of images in several photography forums and found that I see a lot of nice images from the 90mm Elmarit-M.

Well, just bought an used one from a forum member and it arrived about a week ago.  So, I've been shooting with it exclusively and found it to be excellent.  With its maximum aperture at f/2.8, you really need to make sure you have good lights indoor or at night, but I already knew that from shooting with the 28mm Elmarit-M ASPH.  However, during the day, this lens really is amazing.

I have not shot with anything longer than 50mm before, and I must say, 90mm could become my second favorite focal length (I still love 50mm the best).  The combined reach and the ease of separating the subject from the background, I can see why many prefer this focal length for portraits.  I found framing and composing with the 90mm frameline to be very natural and my 1.4X magnifier makes focusing a breeze.

Well, here are just some of the shots from the past week, and so far I'm really enjoying the way this lens renders.
