Hi Francis, I have this lens and like it a lot. It is good for portraits, but what I use it the most for is "walking around" candids. Especially with taking candids of people, I like this lens, because it is so small and unassuming, people think that it's just a short zoom. It is also a pretty good lens to take pictures of children in play. I also have the K135/2.5, but prefer the M135/3.5 for most things (yes, I know that the K135/2.5 is a better lens, but I like the smallness of the M135/3.5)
If the $95 is in US dollars, I think that's a little high. If it comes with caps and case, and is somewhere that you can actually look at it and you can avoid shipping costs, it's probably ok though. I don't have any experience with the other lenses you mention. William in Utah. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hello all, > > I want to ask the group what their experience is with this type of lens.
