That would cost 10k and weigh 5000g.....

That’s why you’d be better off with a “Lady Luck”.

Yep that's why I bought one myself. Your pictures with the A135/1.8 helped in that decision.

Oh dear... so it’s my fault your saying...

Images look even better when shoot ’em @F1.7 with this lens.

Yep 100% agree and that's the reason I bought the A135/1.8 for wide open shooting. I also have the Super Takumar 135/3.5, K135/2.5, K135/3.5 and the F135/2.8, but they can't compare subject isolation/bokeh wise.

Aye... it certainly brings something a wee bit extra to the table.

He's already got at least five 135s that he's declared... guess he maybe 135'd out.

Yeah thanks I'm good for 135mm lenses now I think.

I keep finding them at local camera stores when I go in for other items. Poor things are sitting on the shelf in the used section begging to be given a good home. Who can look at these cute Pentax lenses and not resist??

Why wait?... my "Lady Luck" (Pentax-A*135mm F1.8) has sisters already available right now.
Cause the collector tax is a bit much for that bit of kit. Would love to see a modern 135 f2 from Pentax.

I think the Samyang 135 f2 is probably the best currently available 135 you can get for Pentax. Superb performance for the price too.
