All are fine lenses and all out-perform the Hektor, of which I've owned five exemplars. Personally, I favour the 4/135 for optical performance, but the 2.8/135 is also a superb lens, albeit large and clunky. The Tele-Elmar is a small, light optic which doesn't take up a lot of space in a camera bag and it, too, will easily provide greater contrast, resolution, and sharpness than the Hektor. None of this is to say that the Hektor is a 'bad' lens. But it isn't up to later standards. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
