=================================================================
Yes. I have a 135 f/2.8 and prefer it to an Elmar or
TeleElmar. It is heavier, but the larger finder screen does
seem better to me.
Try removing the lens and just using the selector to see how
small the 135 frame really is.
Of course the magnification also makes the rangefinder more
accurate. This is a big plus when shooting wide open.
