Overview

The Rexatar 135mm f/2.8 lens is a vintage third-party lens, likely made by Tokina. It is heavy and feels off-balance, though it handles better on cameras with good grips. Optical performance is poor wide open, with soft corners and unappealing bokeh; sharpness improves significantly at f/5.6 and f/8. Color and contrast are decent, with good flare resistance. The lens is slow, transmitting less light than expected for f/3.5. It suits budget-conscious photographers willing to work within its limitations or seeking a specific vintage look.
