PF users rate the K 135/3.5 as superior to the M counterpart, but I've

The filter diameter on the M is 49mm. I think that kind of seals the
deal. I can see why the M is generally more highly regarded. I did not
know that they added a group. I've actually wanted the 3.5 for some

I think the M is more highly regarded because there are simply more M's
available. I doubt that an M will out preform a K that hasn't been
abused. That said, the 135mm focal length was exceedingly popular and
most designs were refined over the years until by the mid 70's it was

I got to thinking today whilst working on the bluejay crop i posted
