I agree with you too Douglas and Edward.
As a crazy alt glass user, the longer focus throw and better manual focus resistance makes it a pleasure to use the 135 1.8 on my 1ds3 and much better than the normal Canon manual focus feel like on the 135L which I was comparing it to. Yeah, too bad they didn't get rid of that 1mm extra play.

I'm with you Douglas. I really like the long focus throw and the rigid infinity stop of screw driven lenses, which both make manual focusing a pleasure. I'm sure SSM has advantages but I still prefer the pure mechanical action of the screw drive. But hey, only 4 months ago, I was still focusing and stopping down my lenses manually, so what do I know?
