Thank you Jim, Manu, Michael, Philippe and others for your comments and 'Likes'

Personally I feel I am closing on my minimal R 'collection' with the exception of perhaps Summilux-R 50 E60, thanks to you Alex, and Walter Mandler's last needed piece the Summicron-R 90 [although Almas brings a dilemma of photographic uniqueness vs. optical perfection (Summicron-R 90 vs. APO-Summicron-R 90mm f/2 ASPH)] but otherwise I will stick to learning ups & downs of my current R glass for a while.

Great weekend to you, gents!

LoL @ JaKo. The most comfortable Leica R lenses on the D800/E are the 90AA, the 50/1.4 E60, Lux80 and the 28/2.8 VII E55. Having said that, I am too much busy at doing other shoots to try the remaining R glass.

I have both the CO 60/4 and the 90AA and much prefer the 90AA color rendition and as far as I am concerned, the 90AA sets the standard much more than the CO 60/4 as THE reference lens.
You should not compare the Cron 90 with the 90AA as they have nothing in common besides the focal length and aperture. Totally different glass and formula.

A bit of a contrast to Zhangyue's great tonality and form, here are two with the 21-35 where my exercise was simply looking to find good lines. Both 21-35, R7, Ektar, then--as you can see--tossed around in Lightroom. Post processing remains experimental for me.

Thank you for your info. I do recall your prizing APO-Summicron-R 90mm ASPH on few occasions and indeed this lens appears to be considered as one of the best in this focal range. I am an impulsive buyer so if one day I spot one in a great condition I may scoop it. Heck, ideally I would like to own both mentioned 90s as they seem to have different characteristics although right now my preference is drifting towards Mandler’s R 90 design (as I already own Summilux-R80 and Zeiss 100 MP ZF.2)

BTW, this thread, Zeiss ZF 100/2.0 versus Leica Summicron APO ASPH 90/2.0 , has a lot of great info on both R 90s, Summilux-R80 and Zeiss 100 MP, including this concise sum-up
