Overview

The Soligor Tele-Auto 135mm f/2.8 is a vintage lens praised for excellent tonal contrast, great bokeh, and superb sharpness when stopped down. Its all-metal build feels solid and durable, though it is heavy and may challenge balance on smaller cameras. Weaknesses include softness wide open, noticeable chromatic aberration in high-contrast scenes, and decent but not outstanding contrast. It suits photographers seeking an affordable, characterful telephoto for portraits or detailed shots, especially when stopped to f/5.6 or f/8.
