Especially in low light and wide open, it seems to me that reflex equipment
would be a much better choice, even at the obvious sacrifice of size and
noise.  But chaque un a son gout,  If you believe the 135/2.8 is your only
choice, there is no reason to discuss the matter here.

Regarding Erwin's evaluation of anything Leica...my money and my interest
are directed elsewhere..
