Marc, My comment was based on the fact that these seem to be so inexpensive used. I had meant to say that you could find one in excellent shape for _well under_ $600, which is pretty cheap for a recent-vintage Leica lens. OTOH, users of other camera marques would be horrified at paying this much for an f/4 135. The f/4 135mm (non-tele) Elmarit is even more of a bargin. - - Paul
