135mm · f/3.2
The Konica Hexanon AR 135mm f/3.2 is widely praised for its optical performance, being very sharp wide open with excellent color rendering and minimal chromatic aberrations, often outperforming the Carl Zeiss Jena 135/3.5 and Minolta 135/2.8 (Raxar, stevemark). It is particularly recommended for portraits and close-ups (iangreenhalgh1, hoanpham). Build quality is typical of Konica Hexanon lenses, and handling is smooth. The lens has become more affordable recently, making it a good buy for those seeking a high-quality manual focus telephoto (guardian).
