The SMC P 135mm f2.5 has been called the poor mans A*135. I have never
even seen a A*135 but I have one each of the 135mm f2.5 in K and M42
(SMCT), and I can attest to their excellent imaging qualities both on
film and digital. I was able to get them quite inexpensively mostly
because 135mm lenses are in ill repute in these latter days.

Regarding the $2000 Pentax-A* 135mm f1.8. Some say it is one of the 4
or 5 best lenses Pentax has ever made, but I would love to see a
comparison between it and the K 135mm f2.5 (or the same optics in the
S-M-C Takumar 135mm f2.5 (version 2). *That* is a stellar lens (albeit
without "A" functionality) that is a FRACTION of the weight and cost.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthly search.
