The 135/2.8 Silvernose that I have is the oldest lens that I have that I
actually bought new. It was probably about 1975-1977. Still one of my
favorites.
I think that when I first bought my OM-1 in 1974 or 75 I bought the 50/1.8,
then the 75-150/4 or 28/2.8, then the 135/2.8
I love my 135/2.8, and it will never leave as long as I have an OM camera.
