This thread will sound as insane as the lens itself! But I wanted to know if anyone has ever used this lens. And on which camera?
 
Rare indeed. A friend in the US has one for £800
Is it worth spending that much money on a manual lens? :-/
 
I think £800 is the going rate for this lens, provided its in decent condition. I'd love one, and if I could afford it i'd buy it no doubt....but if you do, make sure you eat your shredded wheat first...its a beast!!!

Would it make sense to sell my autofocus Nikon 135 f2? :p
I fear that using it with cheap chinese adapters will kill the 'magic'?
 
I'd pass on that... The 135/2 lenses are amazingly sharp and fast enough with good DoF control. No way I'd take a soft 135 to gain less than a stop with today's high ISO performance.

It was different in the film days when ISO 400 was probably the fastest film NASA wanted to use...
 
True. There's one on Ebay. Does deliver to the UK. As it is used, do custom/vat costs apply ?
