Ben,
I think the f2.0 have 9 blades. (except on a prototype that had 6 blades) I chose the AI f2.0 version because it has a longer focus throw (270 degrees versus 200 with the AIS) However, whatever you used for this shot is excellent.

Jay - there are too many gateway drugs in manual focus land, way too many. I've had all the versions of the 135mm too, and having sold them all I feel particularly stupid buying them again. But, as I've said, I don't know whether it's sample variation or the Canon sensor or both, my memories of them are very different. For example, I remember the f2 version having buttery bokeh but it has the same 7 sided hexagonal bokeh of the f2.8 version (and the 35mm f2 O) - which I see in your second pic. I really like the last pic with the flowers receding further and further into the blur.
Samy - someone needs to speak to the University of Maryland - it's a shame to have that huge satellite dish at the front of the library building.
this is the 135mm f3.5......with lots of "all pervading darkness" as Samy would call it.

Serge - that was a great catch at the Cathedral.

Thanks, Ben.
It was a very nice moment and would not have thought of clicking the shutter without them.
I took a few photos in your city and will post a few down the road.
