If, on the other hand, one wants to really see what one is shooting with a 135, an SLR may make a lot more sense than the 135 APO - and one can get a good SLR and a terrific 135 for less than one will pay for the 135 APO. Just a thought. B.

It produces just terrific images at full aperture, but the quality of the Apo is staggering. The first time I saw transparencies on the light box I found them almost shocking, they had soooo much clarity and detail.
