[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 276764, member: 6573"] I would suggest that you "rent" the 135mm f2 and 200mm f2 if you are going to invest on these lenses. The problem is, if and once you have both, you will probably want both which is not good for your wallet. :D I will eventually get the Nikon 200mm f2 in the future. This is more of a personal choice since some people are good in using MF and some are not depending on their skill and eyesight. Most Nikon 200mm f2 owners that I know rarely use their lens after the honey moon period because of its bulk, it attracts unneccessary attention, and occupies or requires it's own bag. I wouldn't use the 135mm on a wedding unless you are a second shooter and you have time to focus while the couples are not moving much. IT is great for studio work. IQ wise, I think they are very good. Same goes with the Bokeh when you shoot at minimum focusing distance. I am now more biased with the Zeiss due to its portability. My eye sight is still 20/20 since I had Lasik done with both of my eyes 7 years ago. [/QUOTE]
