I hope the owner of the 28-135mm will sneak in a couple of other Sony lenses in the box for testing

Actually I am either buying or commercially renting 90% of the lenses nowadays.

Why not borrowing lenses anymore?

Don't test it Klaus!
It's pretty video specific, and I bet if you test it it will be at the expense of some other FE lens, and I think most FE users would like to see others before this one (the new Voigtl 15 on FE is a particular interest of mine but maybe that's too niche as well....)

Well, most potential suppliers live either in Sydney or Melbourne. It is understandable that at least those in Sydney mostly prefer pickup. Sydney is vast though.

That's a Leica M lens, maybe Markus will test it?

Markus had said in the past that he won't, because the wideangle lens like this with long MFD (characteristic for the Leica system) can't be used to fill the image with the test chart.
