maybe they figure f2.8 would require goggles which is a turn-off for
a lot of people.  i'm amazed that one can find good condition
late-model 135/2.8's in the $500 range.  its reportedly a pretty
good lens optically, though puts says: "miles behind the 3,4/135,"
which he considers "the best lens for the M."
