Even Better Than Expected
If you're reading this review you're probably aware of the reputation of the CZ 135 Apo Sonnar, so I'll skip praising the superb optical quality, and talk about the traits that surprised me. First, it's not quite as heavy as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it's -is- heavy, but not to the extent that it feels like a burden. Part of the reason is because it has excellent ergonomics - something very important for a lens this size. Finally, the Carl Zeiss lens hood is very beautiful and very high quality. I never use it. It's valuable and I don't want to damage it. Instead I've been using a cheap third-party 77mm screw-in hood. It's not quite as deep, but it's smaller and lighter than the CZ hood. It protects the front element and I haven't had a problem with flaring.
All-in-all, the Apo Sonnar 135 is magnificent and worth every penny (but try to get a good deal on one - they pop up every now and again). Good luck!

Nice USB-C / USB Cables
I'm using these to connect my camera to my computer for large RAW file transfers and subsequent charging. They seem to be of good quality. The connections fit properly with no play, and the cables themselves are sturdy. I've had no problems so far.

Perfect For Stacking Adapters
I bought a couple DKL mount lenses, and they're great except that the minimum focus distance is very long on the 135mm telephotos - we're talking about 4 meters, which is limiting, to say the least! I found this adapter and decided to try stacking it on top of my M42 adapter, which has it's own macro focus helicoid.
The results are excellent. I didn't know whether infinity focus would be maintained, but I can focus well beyond infinity, which is really not a problem. Instead of 4 meters, the minimum focus drops to just under 1 meter, which is much more reasonable.
To be clear, this adapter DOES NOT have it's own helicoid, but it stacks nicely on top of one that does. It also looks nice - the silver metal matches my DKL lenses perfectly. It also comes with a rear cap (M42), which is a nice touch.
