DESCRIPTION - 135mm lens has traditionally been most popular telephoto or long-focus lens in general outdoor photography and in portraiture. For portraits, relatively tight cropping at about 1.6m (5 ft) will optimize perspective effects, avoiding "pulling out" of facial elements with standard lens used close or flattening of features with this or longer lenses used at greater distances. 135mm f/2.5 lens has advantage of unusually fast aperture for low light levels and action stopping. Compact telephoto design.

A faster f/2.5 lens has joined the superb Takumar 135mm lens family. Well balanced, its total length is rather short so it is light in weight.  Most suitable for shooting night scenes, stage, indoors, sports and snap portraits. An excellent lens also for color photography.

Features. This large-aperture lens is a new addition to the Super- Takumar family incorporating the latest advances

in technique and design. A truly deluxe optic, it has won wide acclaim for both its external styling and fine performance. Though somewhat heavier than its F3.5 counterpart, it is shorter and superbly balanced Fine image resolution is obtained with the diaphragm open, and the soft image outlines make it especially suited to color photography- particularly as, like most Super -Takumar lenses, intermediate settings of the diaphragm ring are possible for perfect exposures.

Main uses. This lens forms an ideal member of a deluxe Super-Takumar lens system with, for example, the 35mm F2, 85mm F1.9 and 300mm F4 lenses. The brightness of this lens also makes it perfect for indoor photography in natural light.
