Sorry to disapoint you, the K 135/2.5 you narrowed your search to is limited to 1.5 m (enough for portraits if you ask me, but tastes may vary). To get closer than that you'll have to look at FA 135/2.8. Or the F135/2.8, but I recommend the FA which has better mechanical design. Alan Chan ht

Paul, I owned an A28-135/4 for a while. The photo quality was good, but it is indeed a large lens. It has a very large front element (77mm filter diameter) and only does macro (close focus) at its 28mm setting. Try one if you can to see if you like the handling. --Mark Paul Writes-
