At wide open they are all virtually useless. The last modification  
was only external, on the focus and f-stop rings, but not optically.
If it's for a project, you'd be better off with a Nikkor 135mm F2 AI  
on an EM body.
On the other hand, the 134mm Elmar was designed for wide open shooting.

Hi,

I need the fastest 135 I can get for my M. It's clear that that is  
the 135/2.8.
But there are three versions. First and second seem to be very close  
and they can't be distinguished without taking it apart. The third is  
supposed to be better. But how much better? Can the difference be  
seen in daily use when using slow speeds and fast film? wide open off  
course.

Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
