How come nobody writes about the 135 lens? Is is worth considering? >> The answer may depend on how much work you intend to do with wide angle lenses. I wear glasses and find that the HM works fine with a 35 mm lens. The 35 mm frame lines are very near the edge of the viewfinder. On my Classic M6, the 35 frame lines are just where I would want them - with some room on the outside of the frame lines to see the context of the scene. However, for me, the benefit of the larger magnification of the HM for the 90 and 135 outweigh the slight inconvenience of the 35 frame lines. I suppose that there is a tradeoff and that the decision may depend on how much you will use the 90/135 compared to the 35. Tom Shea
