I was interested to read your reaction to this lens. When I tried one out (on an
Elan 7), I didn't care for the size or the way the barrel zoomed out so far (in
fairness, when contemplating this sort lens I'm thinking "backpacking"), and
after a little more thought I didn't see myself having much use for a 135/5.6 in
the kinds of situations I'd likely face when carrying this lens or one similar
to it. In the end I couldn't see spending that kind of price (in a local camera
shop) for what it offered. But I assume there's a market for it, and I wouldn't
be surprised if it is optically better than the various 28-200 or 28-300 lenses
that are out there.
