Overview

The Tokina 135mm f/3.5 Tele-Auto is a solidly built, conventional 135mm lens typical of late 1960s third-party designs. Optically, it is sharp at all apertures with no flare or contrast issues, though one user on a MFT body noted low contrast and glowing highlights wide open. The focus throw is long and stiff, and minimum focus is a fairly long 6ft/2m. It suits users who value robust build and sharpness, but the handling may not appeal to those preferring smooth, fast focusing.
