See comparison of the Zeiss 135mm f/2 APO Sonnar against Nikon’s 105mm f/2D and f/2.8G versions.

From DxOMark conclusion:

The fixed 135mm focal length isn’t as popular as it was once mainly due to lenses like the 70-200mm f/2.8. Nevertheless, fast lenses like this are making a comeback. The Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* is without doubt one of the finest 135mm f2.0 lenses ever produced, and at $2,200, even the price doesn’t seem unreasonable for quality like this.
