I have a Nikon 135 in LTM that I use with my IIIf and more recently my "new" M3. I'm more comfortable with it on the M3...the frameline isn't that much smaller than the 90 frameline on my M2. It's not a focal length I'm particularly fond of but the extra reach can be useful. At work it comes in handy for taking snaps out my office window of the people walking by below. Normally, though, when I want to go longer than 90mm I'll switch to an SLR and a 180 or 200mm lens. As for footwear...Birkenstock Milanos do it for me during the summer but are a tricky proposition outside here in Michigan during the winter. Out in the foul weather I wear Red Wing boots. - -Dave-
