Why would you say that? From the amount I've used it so far, it
certainly performs on par with premium 135mm lenses.

The Canon EF 135/2.8 Soft Focus is over an inch longer, quarter
of an inch larger in diameter, and weighs nearly 14 oz. The
other Canon 135 is an f/2L model ... It's a half in larger in
diameter, two inches longer, and weighs 1.7 lbs.
I'll take the diminutive Pentax FA135 anyday. :-)
