    135mm · f/3.5

    Overview

    The Minolta MD Celtic 135mm f/3.5 is a compact, all-metal lens with a built-in hood, praised for its lightweight build. Optically, it is sharp at the center wide open, with good contrast, but shows purple fringing at f/3.5 that clears by f/5.6. Chromatic aberration is minor and easily corrected. It suits photographers needing a portable telephoto for occasional use or long walks, offering decent performance for its low cost.
