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. Nathan "Robert G. Stevens" wrote: > I also went out and took some pictures in the snow.
