I like the lens but do have my eyes on a new 135. That lens doesn't get much discussion in this group. What do some of you think of it?

Easy there! You're talking about one of my absolute, top favorites lenses there! I have the old, black, removable lens-head 90mm Summicrons and I absolutely adore it. Wouldn't switch it for anything, regardless of what cryptic achronym resided on the barrel. ;) "Wart hog" it ain't! Maybe a triceratops, but certainly no wart hog! ;) M.
