Overview

The Isco-Gottingen Westromat 135mm f/3.5 is a well-built all-metal lens with a long focus throw and zebra design. Optically, it offers sharpness and pleasant bokeh, though chromatic aberration is evident wide open and clears by f/5.6 (aerogami). Its minimum focus distance is long, but it works well with extension tubes (aerogami). The lens is heavy and best suited for collectors or those wanting a vintage look, but it may be too slow and cumbersome for general use (woodrim).
