Overview

The Minolta Rokkor TC 135mm 1:4 is a budget preset-aperture telephoto lens for SR-mount, weighing 375g with a 46mm filter thread and 1.5m close focus. Optically, it is soft wide-open with purple fringing and flare; center sharpness improves at f/5.6, but corners need f/11 for sharpness. It offers a moderate-contrast, vintage rendering. Build quality can be fragile, as diaphragm issues are reported. It suits photographers seeking an affordable, characterful lens for portraits or detail shots on mirrorless cameras.
