Overview

The Minolta MC Tele Rokkor-PF 135mm f/2.8 v.2 is a solid all-metal manual lens, though heavier than expected. Optically, it is sharp enough for most tasks but not exceptional; wide open at f/2.8 it shows corner softness and falloff, improving by f/4 and reaching its sweet spot at f/8. Bokeh is plain/Gauss type, not swirly. Build is simple and user-serviceable. It suits photographers wanting a classic 135mm portrait/landscape lens who don't mind average wide-open performance and prefer metal construction.
