Sharp lens with good IC and Fuji's wonderful EBC coating.

67mm filter size.

Very good lens, but not necessarily a stand-out, other than it's class-leading image circle in that focal length. It's older version even has a bit more IC (228mm vs. 214mm) which may be a deciding factor if you're using 5x7 sheets or 6x17 Panorama and still want movements.

Customer Service

not yet needed. I get my shutters serviced at Flutot's Camera Repairs, in Whittier, California. They're very good, friendly and not expensive.

Similar Products Used:

(Single coated lenses only): 135mm/f5.6 Fujinon-W in Seiko shutter (has even better coverage); 135mm/f5.6 Symmar-S. 135mm/f6.3 Wide Field Ektar (my WF Ektar copy was underwhelming by the way, it had a lot of cleaning marks and was everything but sharp wide open; needless to say I sold it quickly, I had the Symmar-S for a long time and it was my favorite, until I changed up in formats.....). I now use the older Fujinon-W: Basically same picture quality, lighter than the new CM-W and a bit more room in 5x7. Filter size 46mm.
