Overview

The Isco-Gottingen Berolina-Westromat 135mm f/3.5 is a rare, all-metal M42 lens with a solid build and zebra design. It offers a long 270-degree focus throw for precise manual focusing and a 6-blade aperture producing pleasant bokeh. Optically, it is sharp enough for detailed shots, though heavy when mounted. It suits enthusiasts seeking a vintage telephoto for street or portrait photography on mirrorless or DSLR bodies, offering good value at low cost.
