Hi Carl,

based on my experience, you shouldn't have too many problems with either the
90 or 135mm.  I use a 90 elmarit with a 0.58 body and it focuses fine -
usually.  When I tend to have problems with soft pictures is in low light,
so I'm shooting wide open and at low shutter speeds - so the softness could
be due to either camera shake or inaccurate focusing or (or both).

The 1.25x magnifier does help and is a useful accessory, especially on the
0.58 body.


Regards



Mark
