Discontinued? Where did you hear this? It's still available from B+H, and listed on Pentax USA's web site. OTOH, B+H still lists the SMCT 135/3.5 screw mount.... The 135/2.8 is a *great* lens, even wide open. I think it may be the best of my lenses wide-open. It's my favorite portrait lens. Yes, I like a sharp portrait, I don't care if my old g-mom doesn't like to see her wrinkles. Pal has said the next limited will be a 120mm. If true, it probably won't be out until next year. tv Paul C wrote: > > Lately I have been thinking of getting the FA 135 f/2.8, but since it has > recently been discontinued, I'm debating on whether or not to wait for the > replacement, if there is one.
