Just got them on Ebay...Any good? What should I look for next? 200 2.8 or a 180? A 50 or a 20 something?

Yes! The 135/3.5 is SUPERB!

All sonnars are exceptional lenses. Have fun with them. Smile

I'm a big fan of the 135/3.5. I personally have used the 180 Contax version and its a fantastic lens, albeit a bit to heavy to take on multi day hiking trips.

Thanks for the replies. Which next? Stay with the Sonnars or something else?

Hi Big
The 135/3.5 is a jewell.
It would put a 180 2.8 Sonnar design. CZJ both as ai Nikkor, which is the same optical formula.
Wink
Also would put a Leica

Still getting the bike but looking to replace the Vivitars with something a step better. I'll go from over 150 lenses to 8 or so. I have several good ones including the 18-55 kit lens, a 50-500 Bigma, a 50mm f/1.7 F Pentax and a Vivitar series 1 85mm f/1.4. Just looking to get quality and not quantity.
