Re: [Leica] 135mm lens

["SML" <leirex@access4less.net>]

Hi,

  I would agree with Stephen on the Canon and Nikon 135.  The late Canon
black 135 is an excellent choice at a bargain price, so is the Nikon
black/chrome version.  I understand the Nikon is pretty much the same as the
Zeiss Sonnar in performance.  Finish is excellent in my book.  I have used
both and still use them off and on.

Regards,
David

Thank you all for your advices.
I visited the www.cameraquest.com and Stephen Gandy says that Elmar is not
very sharp lens and Hektor chrome (coated) is not a very good lens (prone to
fogging). I have the posibility to buy a Late Canon 135 3.5 lens (not
senerar but later version) for 150 $ in mint condition.
Following Stephen Gandy recommendation the best 135mm SM lenses are Nikon
and Canon
Any experiences with this lens,
Rafael
