I've just had a quick read of the 135mm hands on write up at DPR and foolishly scrolled down to the comments where I saw someone ask (paraphrasing) why not just use an 85mm and foot zoom.
I do dislike the idea that different focal lengths aren't needed as we can foot zoom as this shows a basic misunderstanding or a lack of realisation at least as if you walk forward or back you change the perspective. Shocker I know and it may not matter to some but if you want the 135mm look there's only a couple of ways of getting it, use a 135mm or stand at 135mm distance, shoot with a wider lens and crop it to the same FoV.
Anyway, if you can avoid nit picking the comments here it is...

It does look to be a very nice lens and if my conscience allowed me I just might buy one for the 1 time a year I'd use it. Good luck to anyone who buys one, I'm sure it'll get them lovely shots
Is this the same people who wonder why portraits look odd when taken with a wide angle?!
