I loose track of post sequence..
I've got both the 135/2.8 and 135/3.5. I prefer the 2.8
personally,
however only for the reason of the brighter viewfinder
that I get. From
what my strictly subjective eyes tell me, both lenses
perform well in the
situations I've used them. I've not taken "comparative"
shots with both.
The 135/3.5 may be a bit tad softer than the 2.8.
Depending on point of
view and choise of subject, this may be a good or a bad
thing...

I guess I'm narrow-minded and limit my choices of caps to
Oly only...and I also limit my shopping to every-day bay.
I have to get out of the box...btw since 135mm is the
point of discussion, what is the preferred choice among
professionals, the 2.8 or 3.5? I own neither but it would
seem the 2.8 is on paper??

If I'm not mistaken ...and I may be...the 135mm f2.8 has

Correct.
So stuffing a 135 f2.8 into a 135 f3.5
might be a tight fit...??
I don't have a hard case for my 135/3.5 (anyone with such
a case up
for sale, btw?), but I imagine that it would be very
hard, if possible
atall.
It may work to protect the lens
, but still you should have a lens cap...55mm caps are a
little harder to find..
Nahh..generic caps are available pretty much everywhere
I've tried. I
believe that John H has originals for sale (at least I've
ordered a few
from him recently with some other stuff).
