Overview

The Soligor 135mm f/1.5 is an extremely fast, heavy (2700g) telephoto lens best suited for tripod use. Optically, it exhibits pincushion distortion, pronounced chromatic aberration, and softness wide open, which lends a dreamy vintage look. Build quality is robust but handling is impractical for handheld shooting. This lens appeals to collectors or those seeking unique, soft-focus effects for portraiture or moody landscapes, rather than modern sharpness or convenience.
