pre-asph
The first two generations of Leica Summicron 90mm lenses were too big, so they didn’t sell well. The third generation was smaller and better. The Leica Summicron 90mm f2 pre-asph E55 lens was sold for twenty years from 1980 to 1998. The latest 90mm AA version uses ASPH and APO lenses, but they cost a lot. I think the pre-asph version is a great choice if you’re looking for a cost-effective option. For Leica, a 30-year-old lens is still pretty new. The pre-asph version looks very similar to the 90AA, and you can easily find new ones if you need to. For film photography, the pre-asph version is perfect, and I’m really happy with it. Since it’s not too big, I often use it for street photography. This helped me gain a new perspective on the 90mm.
90mm is a peak
Street photography with a 90mm lens seems to be a tough challenge. Typically, 50mm, 35mm, and 28mm lenses are the first choice for street photography. Only a few people use 90mm lenses for street photography.
poetic lens
When you look at the world with a 90mm angle of view, the field of view is smaller and more focused. It’ll help you separate the subject from the environment. This is a great way to test the photographer’s vision. What you choose to photograph says a lot about you. It made me take a step back and really think about how I approach photography. From this angle, a 90mm lens is like a detector that can reveal what’s really going on in your heart. It seems like my lens is looking for something in me, not at other people. The 90mm lens is a great choice for capturing those special moments.
