Any Pentax 50/1.4 is worth buying if it's in good condition. They are rightly regarded as amongst the finest lenses ever made for 35mm cameras. If the lens is in good condition, the price you've been quoted is a steal. It's a bona fide classic. I've never used the 135/2.5 but many others on this list have. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
