I purchased a used 135 f3.5 "E" silver nose a year ago. Only after I got it
home did I notice it had slotted screws and Ive considered selling it
because I assumed its been apart and reassembled by someone that had
stripped the phillips screw during disassembly (well that could still be the
case). The serial # is 1125xx. Glad to see other "slots" out there.
