I bought them when they were new and have had several over the years. However, I do find the lens more useful in its R version but, now and then, the need for 2.8 arises with the M camera. My usual M 135 is the f4- a truly high definition lens. But for low - light hand-held photography there is no issue. Bob Figlio
