I own a 135mm f2.8 lens and I often stop it down to f3.5-5 for portraits anyway for DOF reasons. If you have a lens you are happy with, I would advise not messing with a good thing just to gain 1/2 a stop of aperture that likely will make zero difference in your shots.

I know the CZJ 3.5/135 (which is a good lens) and I know the Zeiss (Contax) 2.8/135 (which is a fantastic lens). I don't know a CZJ 2.8/135.
Anyway, the difference between f/2.8 and f/3.5 is hardly visible IMHO.
Sometimes f/3.5 lenses are better wide open than the faster ones.
But I don't think we can generalize that. |

I actually preferred the 135/3.5 for contrast and flare control  In reality, they're both brilliant but the Contax version has a touch more pop.
