What's a good cheap 135mm to look out for?

I thought about it, but I liked the idea of saving $1885.

I guess that Sears will save you some coin, though.

Just bagged a Vivitar/Komine 135mm f/2.8 off of 'das bay.' Pics to follow after delivery.

(Wish the 135/2.5 were a little less expensive...)

Agreed, though I wouldn't take for that heavy little thing.
