Overview

The Soligor 135mm f/3.5 is an affordable, all-metal telephoto lens from the 1970s, often made by Tokina or Fujita. It offers a classic 135mm reach with a long focus throw ideal for smooth manual pulls, though it is not tack sharp and can exhibit a soft glow. Stopped down, sharpness improves. Build is sturdy, but handling can be awkward due to weight, especially on smaller cameras. It suits filmmakers, portrait photographers, and mirrorless adapters seeking a vintage look at a low cost.
