I got it in a package with the camera, and fully intended to upgrade it. Since then, I've found it quite sharp at F8. Wide open, the corners are soft, but the center is useable. Any 135mm is pushing the limits of the M6 focusing mechanism anyway. For the rare times I'll use that length, this is good enough for me. They generally go for around $200 in Exc+ condition in the US. I have seen them for less. don ferrario - -----Original Message----- Date: Thursday, July 16, 1998 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] t-elmar versus hektor 135 >>Another option is the 135mm Hektor.
