If I'm not mistaken ...and I may be...the 135mm f2.8 has a
55mm filter ring with built-in lens hood. The 135mm f3.5
has a 49mm ring. So stuffing a 135 f2.8 into a 135 f3.5
might be a tight fit...?? It may work to protect the lens
, but still you should have a lens cap...55mm caps are a
little harder to find..

I had a discussion with an ebay seller. He told me that
he never
used a lens cap on the lens, but simply put the lens back
into an
Olympus hard case. The lens was a 135mm f2.8 and the
case
was for a 135mm f3.5. I suspect the lens would not have
fit into
the case with the lens cap, as the f2.8 version is a
little longer
than the f3.5 version. Am I being paranoid or does this
sound
like a practice that might lead to a scratched rear
element from
dust or dirt embedded in the bottom of the case?
