| For the OP:
I guess you have probably figured it out that most manual focus 135s are pretty good performers and that almost all are pretty cheap as well. Historically, there have probably been more 135mm telephotos made for 35mm cameras than any other focal length other than 50/55mm and the makers were very good at making them.
You might want to check out your local camera repair shop or "old-style" camera store to actually handle a few in person. They may even be willing to negotiate on price if you find one that just feels right in your hands. That is how I ended up with my Vivitar 135/2.8. Careful though...exposure to quality old glass is addictive.
