Overview

The Canon 135mm f/3.5 II is an old rangefinder lens with a simple optical formula that remained unchanged across eight versions. It is light and solid but looks like a long tube on the camera, giving off a "clown" vibe. Optically, it is not particularly sharp or desirable; the 135mm focal length is awkward for rangefinders and digital adaption, limiting its use. It suits collectors or those wanting a cheap telephoto for occasional use, but it is not recommended for serious photography.
