If I were to share the truth with you, there would be a line of black SUV's down your driveway within 30 minutes :-) So maybe I'll just share the "official explanation" that is provided. I have some other shots of related phenomenon and I'll add some pics later.
A picture from last month with the 105mm. Such a good lens, but because of Z5, I have no idea what aperture it was shot at. Iris don't hang around long enough. Pity.
Even Google? Come now, we all know that they have long been a key player in the great interplanetary conspiracy! (Oh oh! Is that the sound of an approaching convoy of black SUV's I'm hearing? )
While I still have time before being frog-marched away, here are a few more images from Olympic National Park in the rain, brought to you by the Fuji X-T4, Lens Turbo II, and the lenses identified in the captions.
The 135/2 turned up in the post this morning. Earlier than expected.
Wear and tear is as described. Most importantly the glass is very clean but the telescoping hood is stiff to deploy due to a little dent in it.
Some quick and boring images at f/2 look good. I might take it with me when I head into the city tomorrow. For $180 I am very happy with the new addition.

It has been at least 4 years since I last purchased a MF Nikkor. I thought I had my fill.
I saw a 135/2 that wasn't generating much interest on the 'bay so put in a last second low bid and won.
Now the waiting game to see if the hardware matches the well-used but good glass description.
Andy's venture into f/2 glass, recent discussions on the topic, f/2 telephoto images, and the new 135/1.8 Z-Plena must have triggered me into the impulsive purchase. Thanks guys 'n gals! Collectively you made me do it.

135 f/2 vibes must have been in the air yesterday Colin. I took mine off the shelf in what seems like forever. Then I saw your post last night that you purchased one.
Here is a shot from my Ai version from a walk yesterday evening.

Almost...
It is a chain that, if you pull it, can open the bridge. The bridge is for cars as well.
You can see the handle just above the two people on the bridge.
Never tried to pull the handle though.
