135 lens cheap

And Mike,

Stop proving how useful those long lenses are!!! Please, I really don't want to own one of every lens ever made. Pretty please.

Joe, get the books "Better Colour with Walther Benser" and "Color Again" by Walther Benser. He talks about using one camera with one lens; like a guitar with one string. These are late '50s books with a lot of color plates taken with the Leica M3. I think any RF user here would enjoy them.

oscar, you've brought up a good point that i should have considered earlier, i now need a 135 finder for that lens. doh!

anyone want to trade a 135 for a 100 finder?

brian, i had a guitar w/ one string!
just kidding.
i'll look into those books though.

rover, sorry, i thought you had an r for some reason.
i trust you about the leica thing but the dark side is so powerful, how long can you resist?

Joe, consider a turret viewfinder. I have an old one that was real cheap. Made by Optimus, it has 35, 50, 85, 90 and 135 lenses/views. A bit on the big side, but they can be really useful if you have more than one lens that you need a finder for. 🙂

Wow, that was quick, Joe... 🙂

The Jupiter 13 is the best lens in the line-up so far as LTM FSU lenses ever went.

jdos2, I was looking on eBay at FSU LTM 135mm, and they only have Jupiter-11. Did you mean Jupiter-11 instead of Jupiter-13?

If so, do you know the difference betweeen the long (thin) model and the short (fat) one? Is one better than the other?

This is a very bad thread. I had no thoughts of a 135mm until I read this thread...
