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. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
