I owned and used a 2.8/135 Elmarit-M for many years, and have owned a
3.4/135 APO-Telyt for three years.  The APO-Telyt is simply a much better
lens.  I've always liked the 135mm focal length, and the qualities of the
APO-Telyt is simply the most satisfactory lens I have yet used in that
length.  I echo Erwin's comments on both lenses.
