I also, for the sake of safety, only use the lens when I really need its qualities (especially its speed). I often take the K 135/2.5 on the road instead - not only is this safer for the 135/1.8, but the K 135/2.5 is a rugged little lens that is quite good in its own right. I know that some might say that, if you have a good lens you should use it all the time. However, I'd be a really unhappy buckaroo if something dastardly happened to the ol' 135/1.8. I'll use it, but I simply won't use it routinely... Fred
