I had one, and it's a very good lens. But most people don't like 135mm
lenses as much as 180mm lenses. Since 180s became common, 135s seem to have
fallen out of favor. For no more weight, and not much more size, the 180
Elmarit gives you more reach, and with the new APO, significantly better
performance.
