Originally posted by bm75 I've found a good K135 f/2,5 at a local photo store at the price of 200 Euro.
1. That seems too high, even if it's in superb condition. The K 135/2.5 is not cheap, but it's not exactly rare, either.
2. However, it is definitely worth looking for one, either for APS-C (where it "seems" or "acts" sort of like a "200/2.5" lens) or for FF (which is what it was made for).
[I happen to have two of 'em - one "regular" and one lacking the aperture lever (crippled by a Canonista), so I can use a K 135/2.5 with either stop down metering method.

EDIT: Back in Ye Olde Film Days of Yore, when I was an active member of the PDML, I championed the K 135/2.5 as being "The Poor man's A* 135/1.8" (and I owned both lenses back then, although I no longer have the A* 135/1.8, having had to sell it years ago for financial reasons). Anyhoo, now that I guess I ~am~ that Poor Man, I ~still~ think that the K 135/2.5 is "The Poor man's A* 135/1.8".
