You won't get any argument from me on that score.  I've got some shots of seagulls on the wing taken with that lens that are beyond reproach.  A long-range test shot (taken hand-held, pace Erwin) scanned at 4000 dpi shows more resolution than I will ever use.  It might be a bit awkward to use for portraits, but for a general-purpose tele it's remarkable.  I've sure never seen a 135 in its class.
