135 4.0 tele Elmar is 90% of the $2000 APO for much cheaper plus the head comes off for viso work if you ever get there.

 

90 2.8 Elmar for around $500 and 90 is more useful than 135. Head comes off for viso work also. I did not say tele Elmar. Different lens.

 

A clean 135 Hector is quite good at F6.3 or smaller. Most are filthy inside so take care.

 

Forgot the 90 3.5 CV APO. Quite nice and you need the screw to bayonet adapter, not a cheapo knock off either. Leitz or CV only

The TeleElmar 4.0 last version has the same mount as the ApoTelyt, the lenshead is non-detachable. Older versions are.

I have both the Elmarit-M 90mm f/2.8 and Tele-Elmar-M 135mm f/4 and find them both to be affordable and very, very nice lenses. Reasonably small and portable, very sharp from wide open. Though the Elmarit-M was a lot more affordable not more than a year and a half ago (half the price). The M9 has made it quite popular again. The 135mm lenses are still "cheap" because I think a lot of people are still "scared" of them (re:focusing accuracy, etc.).
