Opinions re M135 f/3.5 AND M200 F/4

I've been offered the M135 f/3.5 and the M200 f/4 (price yet
to be determined)..

I''ve inspected the lenses and both are in great condition
... What''s
their performance like and what would be a reasonable price
to pay for
them ?

Both are very good, the 200 better than the 135, but neither
is 
particularly rare.  I'd not pay more than 65-100 dollars for
either.

Yep, what Peter said. I admit I don't use the M135/3.5 much
(I have a 
few other 135s), but it is a great performer. I like the
M200/4 (and 
it's slightly more convenient brother A200/4) a lot. Both
work well on 
digital, and are really convenient walking-around lenses.
Picked up the 
M135 for the pricely sum of $A100, but I've seen it cheaper.
Can't 
remember what I paid for the M200, but it was certainly
around about 
$A100 as well.

I used the 200/4 M on film a lot.  It's sharp and made a
great 
long-distance portrait lens.  I think less than US$100 is a
fair price 
for it.  I believe I paid ~$80 for mine several years ago.
