Joe, very nice shots
KL ... Thank you! The choice between 75 Cron AA, 75 Lux and 90 Cron AA is complex one. If you have a very accurately calibrated lens of any of the lenses, they are fun to use. I was fortunate to acquire the 75 Lux, German made as new. The 75 Lux is very accurate and breeze to use. This lens has such unique rendering, but it may not be a lens you gel with either. My 75 Cron AA was bought second hand. It went to Melbourne for calibration as it was way out. It is now back and excellent to use. Rendering again is so different, and other than FL, basically two totally different lenses. The beauty of the 75\'s is the MFD is 0.7 and .75 m for the Cron and Lux resp. My 90 Cron AA second hand, is still in Solms , being repaired as focus was not consistent. This lens has beautiful rendering but has a very unique feel to the images. My understanding with the Leica lenses is evolving in that there is no wrong lens choice, just which paint brush you prefer. You may end up with more than one, as I did
If you are after form factor, size and weight with a MFD of 0.7m, the 75 Cron AA is a brilliant lens. The 75 Lux is an extraordinary lens, but it is not easy to find a good copy. The 90 Cron Apo, is an amazing lens too, but be wary about finding a good copy. The 90 Cron A, I found very sharp close up as well as med to long distance. IMO, I think some of the internet buzz is with respect to having a well calibrated unit, that encompasses all distances. This quite often require a different cam to be installed.
