A bargain buy that I found last week, this is the first Fujinon I've ever had.
When I took it out today for testing I stupidly used the wrong adapter. It's an M42 mount but the adapter didn't have the flange needed to depress the aperture pin Sad so all shots are wide open.
I added a little vibrancy to most shots, that's all.











I think it's a keeper.

... and certainly is!

A superb job Fuji made with the EBC lens coating.

A few more examples at f2.5 with 100% crops.
As before these images have a little vibrancy added but nothing else, especially no sharpening.








The right adapter should arrive today Razz so I'll get to play with this lens properly.

You could easily skip second series. First post is really great!

This Fujinon 2.5/135 and it's little brother 2.8/100 are both standouts among the Fujinons and among the very best in their respective lengths.

Thanks Like 1 small

I wanted to show some crops so you could all see how clear it is wide open when you zoom in, most of my similar length lenses require a bit more editing to match this Fujinon.

I did have nice light for these, so that's going to help somewhat, but I'm still surprised at how good this lens is. It's my first Fujinon, on this evidence I should look at some more.

The only niggle is the lens cap + hood arrangement. This design means the lens hood and cap both screw into the same thread, so one at once can. These hoods which use a thin layer of material to 'grip' the lens often fall off a lot at this age. So I bought a standard, metal hood for it and have an Elicar lens cap to fit, problem solved. It also focuses like a Nikon, direction wise, 95% of my lenses turn the opposite direction. This really buggers up my muscle memory when shooting birds Confused Still a keeper though, unless I get a nice offer of course.
