small 135 beats all.... This 135 is the best medium tele that I have used (including many from Cn Nn Sy). Very sharp. Expensive, and some will complain about the cost, lack of autofocus (this is a M Leica lens afterall), slow max aperture, no IS, etc. Very well built and reasonably small. I use it on a Leica SL with no focus issues with the incredible EVF. Harder to focus with OVF, I suppose, but I have not tried. Edge to edge sharpness wide open with little improvement when stopping down (a bit better with a stop or two down, but hardly important), diffraction issues (re physics) at f/16 and 22.
The sharpest telephoto I've experienced. This lens is so sharp it can "see" 3 of Jupiter's moons. Search Paul Roark Santa Ynez Valley skies Jupiter .
