It was too heavy and I had it twice for repair because (I thought) the focussing didn't work. It just didn't feel right and I sold it. I love my 90mm tele-elmarit. It is small and I very rarely miss the focus. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of TEAShea@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 1998 10:29 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Technique << How come nobody writes about the 135 lens? Is is worth considering >> This is a great question. You are right - no one talked much about this lens. They don't talk about its optical performance or about using it. More Leica M users seem to be oriented toward the shorter end of the focal length range. A 135 mm lens is a favorite length of mine. I find it wonderful for very tight head portraits, which I generally prefer. I also like the length for many scenes.
