[merciful]

Any of you folks using the 135/3.5? I'm thinking trying to find one.

I knew it'd be you, Brian. Thanks, that'll do just fine for me: the hunt begins.

Did you finally find that Canon 7 Merciful ?

No, I came to my senses, and decided not to back up a vintage body with another. I'm inclined to get an R.

i just 'won' a 135/3.5 last week. the seller has already left feedback for me re. quick payment so he must have received my cashola and sent the lens already.
i'll let you know what i think after using it.
it was cheap (60 bucks american/75 cdn) so it's not an expensive risk to try it out.

I owned one for awhile. Beautifu boque, and very sharp. Not the best lens for a short rangefinder EBL Bessa R2. And, there's the separate viewfinder hassle too.

I decided to do my tele work with an SLR. Still, I kept that brightline finder just in case I change my mind. Now, I've got a .85 Leica on the way, so . . . . . who knows

Can you tell when Nikki is wearing Clothes that I buy for her?

Now that is funny. I went to pick Sammy up at school, all his friends were dressed in cute matching outfits. Sammy was in sweatpants and a long sleeve heavy ribbed t-shirt. You could tell which kids were dressed by their mothers and which had cloths pulled out of the draw by their dads. They were all rolling around in the sand box and down the hill, so I think the dads did alright.
