Robert,

That was also my experience when I had the Hector. It did a wonderful job of
portraits but whenever I used it for scenics I was disappointed with the
results. If you really like the 135mm focal length on the M, I am afraid you
need to cough up the $$ for the 3.4/135 Apo Telyt. I sold mine because I was
not using it enough but the images I did make with it are outstanding.
