Do people on this list still use the 135mm lenses anymore? >> The 135 focal length is my favorite. Since this lens length is rather marginal (even with a .85) for an M camera, I use my SLR system more than I otherwise would. I like very tight head portrait shots. A 90 mm lens is not tight enough for me for such portraits. For me the 135 is just right for these shots. I also like the 135 focal length for general use. I find it to be an excellent lens for travel. It enables me to often eliminate clutter and focus in on a more simple composition - which I prefer. Tom Shea
