Overview

The Minolta MD 135mm f/2.0 is a rare, heavy (725g) manual-focus portrait lens with excellent resolution and unique bokeh, even wide open. Its long focus throw (270°) aids precision but slows operation. Weaknesses include noticeable aberrations and corner softness at f/2. It suits portrait photographers who value its fast aperture and distinctive rendering, though its high cost and collector demand limit accessibility.
