Hello,
I got this old beauty this week. I didn't hear of it before.
It suffers light fungus and pictures need some contrast to be added, but... okay.
I'll try to clean lenses with cold cream as Indianadinos showed us. 
Here are some quick shots.
The lens, shot with MF zoom Angenieux 35-70mm f2.3-3.5
16 blades diaph :
Some sample quick shots :
1- @f2.8
2- @f4
3- @f5.6
4- @f8

6-
7-
8- inside without flash
9- he moved, but I like this pic

Well, Luis I'm pleased that it's uncommon.
Do you know in what decade it was made ? 1960s ?

This is a very kind cat. He has something secial and loves to look at the computer screen.
About PP, yes, Rino. In DPP, I had to push contrast.
Because of light fungus, it lacks of contrast. But it remains light PP.

that´s great that you understand me. I have forgotten the word - of course I reckoned diaphragm.

Yes, I guess early-middle 1960's.
There were at least three versions of Piesker 3.5/135, two alu and one black.
The earliest Alu version is I think from about 1954, that the earliest I can find it in Seymours catalogs.
There was an updated alu version from the later 1950's probably, and then this one.

Oops, you're right.
This is the first 2.8/135 Piesker I've seen. Even more unusual.

I've got this lens on ebay as "135mm 2.8 m42 lens". Bought it because it looks like light saber  Mine has black mount.
It's an like MOG Trioplan 100mm 2.8 (which I also have) on steroids - more bubbles, more swirl. Very light, very long.
If you've ever find this one on ebay - buy buy buy
Later I'll post some photos. |

Hello Airman.
I like when "antique" topics come back to life. We are lucky to have Attila maintain this great site with lot of storage capacity.
It also shows that the in site search window, or the web keywords references, work great.
Yes, it's a great lens. It seems very rare.
Could you please post a photo of your lens ?
and can't wait to see some sample shots taken with it.
