Arturo,

The 135mm Apo Telyt is a fantastic lens. I ended up selling mine because I
was not using it enough, but I feel a slight tinge of regret every time my
otherwise great 90mm Apo comes up a bit short. I used it with the 0.72 and
0.85 Leica M6 bodies, and while it was usable on the 0.72 there is no
question that it worked better on the 0.85. I guess you will achieve the same
effect with the magnifier (actually, slightly more, since the magnifier makes
the 0.72 into an M3-like 0.9).
