Who's running the list of memorable PDML quotes? The above got to qualify as a good example of PDML (selective) friendliness.... Yes, as the man said, why ask for other user impressions of a Pentax K-mount on the Pentax Discuss Mailing list.... Robert, contrary to Peter I like it when list members ask for opinions of other list members. However, unfortunately I can't help you much, other than saying that Chinon has probably put out more than one model of 135/2.8:s through the years, why it would be diffi cult tosay anything without knowing the exact model of the lens. In general I don't recall Chinon lenses getting too bad reviews, but you never know. The 135:s are a bit like 50mm lenses, you actually seldom hear of real bad ones from the better known brands. I once owned a screwmount Chinon 135. It was alright, but the multicoated Pentacon 135/2.8 was clearly a better lens. (While one of Chinon's 50/1.7 once by a Swedish photo magazine was declared something like "best 50 mm we ever tested", some time in the late 70:s I think.) When you've tried it out, why don't you tell us your own impressions or post a picture.
