I sold this lens few minutes ago. But it's very nice - actually it's the smallest 135mm M42 lens, I have ever seen - so I decided to post some pictures here:

The lens has about 5 × 8.5 cm:





Iris is quite rounded, about 15 blades:



Compared to Sigma AF 17-70 at 70mm:

Real beauty! Do you have samples taken with this lens ? Perhaps good idea to link here.

No, I bought it together with other lenses and because I already have enough 135mm lenses, I sold it for €20.

I made only some shots from window to test infinity focus etc. The lens isn't bad, somewhat sharp for such old/small/non-MC lens, but shows slight CA.

Hi, I happen to be the buyer of this particular lens, so your hope for the test samples is not lost! Smile
I stumbled upon this thread while doing google search for the Accura Supertel 135mm 3.2 and this was the only mention I could find...

The lens is real beauty, super compact size. In fact, it is smaller (although tad heavier) than my Jupiter-11 135/4 lens for rangefinder Kiev / Contax. I bought it to have one long lens for my Pentax MX, as I usually do not bother with anything longer than 50mm, or maybe 85mm when I know I will do some portraits.

So far I only managed to"test" this lens on my Canon 5D and found that the lens is real sharp corner to corner. Slight trace of CA fully open does not bother me, as I mostly shoot BW film anyway. Closed a bit, the CA disappears. Bokeh looks pleasing to me, probably also due the round aperture (16 blades). MC coating looks also very good.

All in all, quite interesting lens. Pitty I could not find more info about it on the web.

First image is by fully open aperture, second is 5.6 I believe...



Cheers,
RB

Hi and thank you. I will post more samples when I will have the opportunity to take the lens out for a trip. Hopefully with the Pentax MX this weekend...

PS - for some reason, the images I attached did not appear in my post, but they are visible in your quote of my post... (?)

there seem to be quite a few old, small preset 135mm lenses that perform quite well, my Tele Kominar is small and performs well too:



they all may not be 'the smallest' but one of the reasons why I like old lenses is because they are small, e.g Auto Takumars f2/55mm:
