If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend you try the S-M-C
Takumar 135mm f2.5. NICE lens.
(Yes, I know that f/2.5 ≠ f/1.8)
Thing is, 135/2.5 is within a hair's width of the DA* 50-135/2.8 at
135mm. While 135/1.8 *might* be worth buying and carrying separately,
I'm quite happy using my existing DA* 50-135 racked-out so 2.5 wouldn't
get me anything notable. Sure it's heavy, but the K20D already gives me
wrist-ache, so I barely notice the additional strain.
