In what country? on eBay? The 90AA can generally be found for around €1600, with a bit of patience, possibly less. In the States it would be less (isn\'t it always), but import duties etc... The 90 Cron around here costs about €900-1100, and is also a good lens. It just isn\'t as sharp, and is perhaps a bit soft wide open, and has a little CA wide open. Stop it down a little and there is little difference between the two. The 90/2 pre-ASPH is a very good lens, and Canon or Nikon would be proud to have it in their current lineup
The 90AA is just really special. It has a little magic left in it, but is still *very* sharp. It is the M version of the 90AA-R, btw.
The prices are very much in flux right now, and on the rise, probably due to the M9. I would make up my mind quickly, go hunting and find one ASAP. Once more people start getting their M9s, the prices of M lenses will not come down for a long time. Getting the lens before the camera would make sense here. Just make sure it is the right lens
