Lens Notes:

Lens Description:

Classified as a fast full-frame medium telephoto prime lens, the Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135mm F/2.5 is a Vintage 135mm prime for the M42 system. The Heliar optical construction (5 elements in 4 groups) is valued for smooth, almost three-dimensional rendering. A maximum aperture of f/2.5 and a 6-blade iris make it a capable choice in low light, while its 444g body keeps it manageable. Accepts 58mm screw-in filters and uses manual focus only.
