I know this is a two year old thread, but I want to thank you for it anyway. I have been trying to decide between the 105 and 135 DC lenses and have been searching the internet for discussion of just these issues for days. This thread puts all this to rest for me. I started out wanting the 135 but I'm just about to start getting into portraits and shooting people, and I did not know what focal length I need. Your pictures, which include the focus distance, helped me confirm that I probably need to get the 105 for working inside a small studio. Also, the thread has resolved for me issues about sharpness, CA, and focus on these lenses. I'd love to buy both, especially since you finally got good results with the 135, but the 105 needs to be first. Just seeing you go through the process of figuring out how to get the lens to perform for you was an education in itself. And seeing very good images of what sort of image quality qualifies as being "sharp" and how sharp these lenses can get has been educational as well. I can comfortably buy the 105 now when I have the $$. Thanks. Jim
