with the 135mm you have less time before trailing begins, and it will be darker due to being not as fast a lens - keep them too 1-5? secs' and the
28 i think you could go for up to 20 secs before trailing begins.
i would stop the 55 down one stop as well as some wide open.
the 135,, as Terry said is best wide open (I have the same lens- see my avatar for an example from it- and that is stopped down a stop!!) this is all on a nice sturdy tripod i assume?

Yes, on a pretty solid Velbon. I can lock the mirror up before I open the shutter, to reduce shake. I'll be using a cable release.
I've been thinking as much about composition of the photos as exposure and actually getting the comet onto film. I've some "weird" ideas I want to try - probably won't come off!
Thanks, Eric
