The 135/2 and 1.4 TE combo are on my list of things to buy.

Why?  I want the ability to shoot at f2.  I'm willing to go down to 2.8 for
a ~200mm lens.  But at 135, I want the extra stop.

Size and weight are also a factor.  The 70-200/2.8 is a big, honkin' lens.
I've owned a similar zoom of a different brand before.  It's a nice lens.
But often, I left it at home because of the size/weight issue.
