IMO, apart from it being extremely heavy, a decent, very sturdy construction with good coated glass. The iris (14 leaves) forms a virtually perfect round aperture so your "bokeh" is pretty good too. The general impression on film is of a very good , but not excellent lens. OK I'm comparing it with the 135/2.8 Leica-M, which is really comparing apples with pears. I've only found one problem with it - if I'm shooting against the light the results tend to have a bluish haze. Maybe the coating is no longer what it was. There were a couple of variations to this lens, I have the all chrome version (#53905), from the weight of it it must have been machined out of solid brass. BTW the blue haze is easily removed in PS Cheers Douglas Kenneth Frazier schrieb: >Listers: > >Anybody had any experience with the Canon 135/3.5 LTM lens on a IIIf? > >TIA > >Ken Frazier >_______________________________________________ >Leica Users Group. >See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > > -- Ihre bevorzugten Shops, hilfreiche Einkaufs-Hilfen und gro?artige Geschenk Ideen.
