Hi,
In manual lenses there was Zeiss, Sigma 135mm f1.8, and Porst 135mm f1.8 (M42), but I guess Canon 135 f2 is better lens than last two. In other brands there is Zuiko 150mm f2, accoording to reviews extremly good, and for the price of about 2000 - 2200USD, so almost twice as Canon's 135mm. Not sure, if something else exists.

I forgot my beloved Pentax <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> - there is manual A*135mm f1.8, that used goes for more than new Canon's 135 f2, and K135mm f2.5 (about 200USD, tested here on PZ). Thinking about astrophotography new Pentax GPS unit is very usefull (works only with K5/K-r), check [url="http://www.popphoto.com/gear/2011/06/pentax-unveils-o-gps1-slrs"]here[/url]. There are some samples already on the web, and it really works.
