You guys are killing me... Nice Images!
I used to have a TE fat, stupidly sold it about 5 years ago, and now I want another one.
I'm not at my computer right now, but I'll try to post shots from the Fat as well as from the Thin later...

... likes film again.
... you also used to have a stellar TE-thin, rarer German-Made version without the TE-thin disease (element separation)
If I would still have it I would it offer it to buy back from me.

Hi Gabor, it was a nice lens, but unfortunately I don't own it anymore. I have had a hard time over the years finding "the perfect" 90mm Leica lens for me.
I have gone from 90mm Elmarit (too large), to TE thin (too flarey), to TE fat (perfect, stupidly sold it), to 90mm Summicron ASPH (way to large for me), to TE thin again (yours), to 90mm Macro Elmar-M (fantastic, but slow and expensive - bought a fantastic Hasselblad 110mm f/2 for that money), to NO 90mm at all.
Currently, I own a 90mm CV Apo-Lanthar and a 90mm TE fat again - just bought them this week. I will evaluate them over the summer.
Here's a shot from the first TE thin I used. Shot at f/2.8 at the 1 meter minimum focus distance:

I just got mine back from Will Van Manen. When I bought it, it was quite hazy. I used it for a few months and just bumped up the contrast in post, but wasn't really happy with it. Will cleaned it up and lubed it for me, and it is now a fantastic lens.

T-E 90 (thin) was my first M tele, portrait use mostly, with film. Regret selling it for a faster, heavier 90.
