Overview

The Soligor 135mm f/3.5 Tele-Auto, a Tokina-made lens, is noted for heavy-duty build and solid handling, though its built-in hood is considered useless. Optically, it is very soft with extreme flare and aberrations wide open, improving at f/5.6. It may suit artistic portraits for its soft rendering, but overall performance is poor compared to later zooms.
