I have the K 135/2.5, and it is one of my favorites. The only other lens I own that equals it is the K 85/1.8. The 135 produces beautiful photographs to be certain, but it's value is partly aesthetic. It's a magnificent specimen. Sometimes, when I've had a bit too much of the single malt, and I just feel like admiring a camera, I'll mount that 135 on an LX, set it down on the table, and just step back and admire it. Sick, isn't it? : ) Paul
