Carl Zeiss 135 mm lens

I got this today from ebay for £50 after seeing hefty1's comments on its quality - i took it out for a quick test this evening as we had a bit of sunshine and i think it performs very well - the pics have had no processing just a bit of cropping but I think the lens reproduces the colours very well and was a bargain buy. Thanks for the tip hefty1

# 1 I like the lighting,alot....

#2 Beautifuly focus

#3 I say is blewing in the wind...did you use a flash for focus????

A smile for each

So you've discovered Carl Zeiss, now you'll want a 35mm one as well.

The 135 is good as your shots show, but I prefer my 35mm f2.4 Flecktogon.

Together with a 50mm this was a standard set in 35mm film days, then came the zooms...

I still use mine from time to time, it brings back memories.

Thanks for the comments - I didnt use a flash - the setting sun was providing a nice light but there was a breeze. I might look in to the 35 and 50 mm as well but that wont help the lba

Do some research first as Ebay prices can be OTT on the 35mm and 50 mm ones.

I was lucky, mine came from my pre digital days using Zenits.

A pleasure to have been of service!

By coincidence I picked up another two of these mixed in with a job lot of bodies and lenses at a local auction this morning - I seem to be a magnet for them!

Not had a chance to test them out yet and I'm going out for the evening shortly, but if anyone wants one before they go to eBay let me know before Monday evening...

They're still my favourite 135's by a long margin!
