I've got one, but I don't use it that much. Looking through lightroom, it seems 
as if the last time I used the 135 was last april.  I'm either using the 77 for 
speed, or if I want length, I go for the  A* 200 which is longer, effectively 
just as fast, and has auto exposure if I want it.

Mind you, despite getting an amazing deal on the 200, the 135 was a LOT 
cheaper, it's also probably about a third the volume, and half the weight.
