Nice shot Jim.  I keep hearing how soft the old 135mm
f2.8 lenses are...it looks pretty sharp to me
considering it is probably a small jpeg file viewed on
a computer screen.  I know the 135mm f3.4 of today is
VERY sharp, but I've seen nice 135 2.8's for under
$500.  How do you feel about this lens?
