I love longer focal lengths and detest wide-angle lenses, passionately, though I do own a couple. I own the 3.4/135 APO-Televid, an older 4/135 Elmar, and a number of other lenses which can be fitted onto my M's (Carl Zeiss Jena Triotars and Sonnars and a Jupiter-11). I love them. They are superb lenses with a worthy camera. Longer focal lengths work well to isolate a subject from the background, and the 3.4/135 is, frankly, the best of the lot, though that Sonnar is also a hard one to beat!
