Re: 135 f2.8 made in Canada
They are nice lenses, if somewhat unwieldy; for practical purposes. all of them were made in Canada. Erwin Puts mentions a small first series made in Solms, but I never heard any confirmation on that.
The first series was rather soft and low contrast, the newer ones improved. It never got to the level of the 4.0, but on the M8 it seems to be at its best. It has to be stopped down for best results on short distances. Bokeh is excellent and the images, as shown here, just fine.
