Hi,
not great focus feel - what does it mean? If it means too easy movement with no proper fixation, I can probably live with that. When using MF, I keep my left hand always at focus ring with one finger "clamping" the ring. Or it's just not smooth (feels something like cheap zooms) ?
However, I would very interested to hear about optical quality...

Seems to be well liked but has "not great" focus feel. If that's important I'd wait. OTOH you could get a nice manual focus 135. Like the K135 f2.5 and the FA 135 f2.8 for autofocus. (Just helping you along with your enablement).

Hi all,
I' m searching for a good mid-tele prime for my Z-1p. Until today I was about to get FA100/2,8 Macro - I've tested it once before and sort of liked it. Excellent sharpness, solid build. But today I somewhy started to think about FA 135 and can't quit... same max. aperture, a bit longer, internal focussing (good!), ability to focus from 0.7m (not macro lens, but seems impressive for "normal" tele). For macro works I could probably wait a bit more and get new D-FA 100mm (I like THIS manual focussing ring A LOT!).
What do you think about this lens? How good/bad is it wide open? Has anyone tried it with macro ring or add-on lens, maybe I could forget about special macro lens at all?
