Most AF lenses focus wide open - so I was referring to Rover's "If only it hadn't been MF..."
​Chances are very high that it would miss focus a lot of times, even if it's only a small movement of the photographer or the model or both. On the other side, there are 200/2 lenses which are similar in that aspect and - to make things worse - heavier at the same time. Interestingly, there's only one 135/2 in the current line-up of Nikon. It appears this formerly popular focal length is one of the victims of the more versatile zooms.
