Related: Sure makes you wonder what this "new" 135mm f1.8 is/was (and
if it is for the digital age why it is still called an A* rather than
a DA*)

The guy who posted the original photo to Flickr called it a "135mm F1.8
lens (special color model)" in his reply to questions about it. IIRC, it
was pretty much determined back in 2010 that the lens is just a standard
A*135f/1.8 in a non-standard color; possibly re-coated, replaced rubber
grip & a green stripe added to match the DA lenses.
