Overview

The Vivitar Auto T4 135mm f/2.8 Tokina (close-focusing version) is a rare, well-built lens from the 1970s, manufactured by Komine. It offers solid metal-and-glass construction, smooth handling, and a long focus throw for precise near-macro work up to 1:2 magnification. Optically, its 4-element Ernostar design delivers beautiful bokeh and good sharpness, though it may struggle with foliage. The lens is best suited for photographers seeking a vintage telephoto with close-focus capability and classic rendering, but its rarity and need for a tripod at close distances are drawbacks.
