I might be in the market for a 135mm f/2. I'd like to know more options and which ones people like best. Which 135 f/2s do you like and why?

It seems like a generally useful topic for discussion.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. - my ideal would probably be the classic Zeiss APO Sonnar 135 f/2, but that's a $1000 lens and way more than I need.

Samyang will be my choice if I don't go for the Zeiss.

Planar T* could be next price step down. The Nikkors and Canon...

There was a good discussion here of these a few years back.

It's not f/2, but f/1,8.
Sony GM 135/1,8. Very good lens.
Smooth and precise MF.

Cheapest option is probably the Porst 135mm/1.8 They are sold in auctions for less than €200 (mostly from Germany).
