I would recommend buying the f/4.0 135 Tele-Elmar.   The older version which
requires a separate hood would be a good buy.

This lens has always had a great reputation and is smaller and lighter than
the f/2.8.   There is a persistent rumor that the Tele-Elmar meets the APO
criteria of some manufacturers (if not Leica).

Does anyone have any views on the 135mm f/2.8 Elmarit M, particularly in
comparison to the Leica 135mm F3.4 APO Telyt M.  I can get a exc+ condition
used f/2.8 for £499 as opposed to spending £1100 on the f/3.4.

Thanks.

Simon
