length f-stop combination. If it is, you've got the second best 135 Pentax ever made. The only
135 that's better is the A*135 f1.8. ($30.00 was a steal by the way)..

When I was buying lenses for the *istDS, I happened upon a Pentax-M 135/2.5 for less than $30. Bought it on the spot ... at that money if it works at all they're giving it away ... and it turned out to be in remarkably nice condition. I like this focal length on the *istDS ... It's my usual "longest commonly used" choice for field of view on the 16x24 format.
I like it enough that I'm considering buying a new FA 135/2.8 internal focus lens now and wondering how the performance compares to this old M series lens. Anyone have both and care to comment?
thanks Godfrey

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
