However, I have owned the f2.8/135 and used it on an M6. I found the lens not to my liking. It is too big and heavy for my Leica kit. I found that it failed to produce a sufficiently crisp and contrasty image. I found that the eyes dimmed the viewfinder too much. I currently own and love the f4.0/135, the E39 expression with reversible metal shade. This is a lens I really enjoy...easy to focus, easy to carry...plenty sharp and contrasty...quite inexpensive on the used market, too. However, I have heard many comparisons which say the f3.4/135 is even better and quite compact.

I would appreciate feed back on the lens and also any differences between the 2.8 and the current 3.4 apo - ------------------------------------------- Thanks, Mehrdad
