A 135mm works very nice as well but it puts me at a longer distance than I'm comfortable with. I especially like the EL Nikkors because Nikon states in the specs the lens usable range extends into the UV spectrum. I would think the Componons and Rodenstock lenses extend into the range as well. Problem with the Componons is they don't have filter threads.
