Is is worth considering >> >> I have had both the f4 and the f2.8 for years and have to say that for non- critical handheld work they are both excellent. However, the 2.8 is a very high resolution lens and produces very high quality images. But it is the f4 that I carry with my M6 outfit for size and weight reasons. I hace noticed that the 135 f2.8 Elmarit for the R body does not bring much money on the used market even though it is an outstanding performer. There is something more going on here than optical quality when price is a consideration. Does anyone know if the 135 Elmarit for the M and R cameras is the same lens design? Bob
