Let's hear it for 135mm

One of my favorites. It was important that there be distance between me and the primate.

I have a Minolta MD 135mm Rokkor-X 2.8, the model with the 4/4 lens configuration. It is s-o-o-o sharp - it can only be truly appreciated with a tripod. I use it for landscapes. It brings the background in without looking too "stacked", at least to my eye. I like the 24, 50, 135 combo for an outdoors kit.
