D. And if one doesn't want to carry two different systems just to have a long lens available, an M6 .85 with the magnifier works like a charm with the 135. I've got a wonderful 180 in my Nikon system, but if I'm out with the Leica (as is usually the case) I'm damned if I want to carry the F3 and the 180 "just in case". Much easier to slip the 135 and the magnifier into the bag.
