I finally managed to find out how to attach a photo. Please find two examples of how the Hexanon 2.8/90 performs.

Great color, Mads.
Could you, please, add details about the camera & film used?

I also got me an M-Hex 90/2.8 recently, but haven't put it through a color film yet.

Focal Point should be able to turn it around in about four weeks. I would recommend using them, although it will probably be $100-150, based on the repairs he's done for me. DAG is inexpensive, but you may be waiting a while behind all of the gratuitous and paranoid Leica CLAs that seem to occur every time an M changes hands.

Hi DGA,
Sorry for being late. I was offline for some days. I had Fuji 200 in my Hexar LE. Thanks for looking.

Hi Roland,
Thanks for your welcome.

Thanks Mads, That's OK.
BTW, apart from the appearance, is there any difference between the regular RF and the LE?

None. Merely the "natural" finish titanium covers, and special insignia.

Actually, this is from RD1S at ISO 1600. Just wanted to see some grain in these, make it film-like, I suppose.

Thank you!
Here is more, if you dont mind:

If you have an M8, you might want to have the focus adjusted (it won't affect film use) - sadly, the same thing I had to do with my Tri-Elmar and 75 Summilux. You will be surprised (a) at how good the 90mm Hexanon is and (b) how well it blurs things that are just outside of the depth of field. A killer. It will outresolve the M8 wide open.
