Bought a Hexanon 135mm f3.2 telephoto lens on ebay recently. Have not received it, can not wait! I am just curious if anyone has compared this lens to the more expensive lenses from Nikon or Canon, say Nikkor AIS 135mm f2.8 and such?

well, what do you think?

the 135/3.2 is my favorite portrait lens. (though admitedly, i do not have an 85/1.8 or compared it to the other hexanon 135's).

But, slides are incredibly crisp. Backgrounds blurs great at f=3.2; and ilfochromes are quite nice up to 11x14's.
