my experience with this one is weird. i first tried it on my Olympus E-520 years ago and couldn't get decent sharpness. recently i tried it again on my E-M5 and was surprised. i was able to get decent results.
this lens is a preset m42 lens.

Could you post a picture of the lens please?

I also have a preset Typonar 135mm f/2.8 and I wonder if it's the same lens as yours.
My version is rather rubbish....but maybe I should test it again as well Wink).
