The K135/2.5 is among my most used lenses, and it appears to yield results that are similar in color and sharpness to the K85/1.8. And, as I've stated earlier, I've also had great success with the Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5. However, there's a big "but" attached to that. I rarely make any wet prints

Do you really want to know the answer to that? Chips get soft because they contain less moisture than bread, and when left out, they absorb moisture. Bread, OTOH, contains more moisture, which, in time, evaporates, and the bread gets harder. CBWaters wrote: > why does bread get hard when left
