You might be disappointed to hear that Klaus was looking for the M-mount 90mm lens <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

But I remember that you actually own the 90 II, didn't you ?

Yes. However, I haven't used it much, yet.

It is so small because it has Leica M-mount. It won't fit any DSLR.

I use a nex so it should work well.

It wil fit micro cameras, though.

Markus,
Cosina released the previous 75/2.5 also in various SLR mounts (Nikon AI, Pentax K). From what I have seen so far, it is not clear, whether this is also possible for the new 75/1.8 or not. As you know, this depends on the optical design (distance last vertex to film/sensor). Might be worth watching this space whether an SLR version is or isn't comming.

Actually I just wanted to have a look at the 90/3.5 APO specs on the Cosina website. Instead the link gave me this ...

According to the US distributor, it is a portrait lens, designed to be soft wide open and sharp at f/5.6: http://www.cameraquest.com/voigtlen.htm#75/1.9
