Overview

The Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-X QD 135mm f/3.5 is a compact, affordable manual lens with steel-and-glass construction and easy home maintenance. Optically, it delivers good center and mid-frame sharpness, but corners are weak; stopping down to f/5.6 improves sharpness, and f/8 yields uniform sharpness across the frame. It exhibits typical aberrations for its era and creamy bokeh. Best suited for APS-C cameras; full-frame users may prefer alternatives.
