My excellent 135/2.5 went for $201 on ebay a couple weeks ago. Great
lens, but I wasn't using it. The DA* 50-135/2.8 is at least its equal,
especially wide open.

Ive never tried the smcA 135/f1.8 lens, but I have used
the smcK/f2.5 and the smcK/f2.5 is a fantastic
lens, fairly fast, and only costs around $250 near mint,
which is a small fraction of the cost of the F1.8
lens.

I take it that A* 135/ƒ1.8 can't be had for love nor money?
That's not quite true, they do occasionally become available but for
big
money, far more than the photographic value IMO. It's a lovely looking
piece of glass but has attained its legendary status more due to its
obscurity than its performance in my opinion. I sold mine quite a few
years back and never regretted the sale, it's not so hot until stopped
down a bit, lots of CA and low contrast, it does look impressive
though.
