I'm confused. When I first responded to this thread -- some almost five years ago? (sheesh!) I thought 'beautiful' was meant as in "a great picture taker," not as in a beauty of a lens to look at. As I mentioned way back on page three or something, I have always liked the Nikkor AI 135mm f/2.8. Mostly because of this one photo I took of my wife way back in about 1989:
You can't tell from this size of an enlargement, but it is possible to count the pores in here face -- not that I'm suggesting one should, with a portrait and all.
But as for sheer beauty, that gorgeous Angenieux aside, my tastes have always tended toward the extreme, such as the Zeiss 135mm f/1.8 Planar:
. . . or the truly Brobdignagian, as is evinced by the Vivitar 135mm f/1.5:

I believe the Spiratone 135mm f/1.8 was available in at least two different versions. Quite a few years ago, I owned a Spiratone 135mm f/1.8 that was made by Sigma. It was rather compact compared to some of the others, and I'm pretty sure it was because of having a different lens formula. Here's a comparison chart I found on the 'net just now:
And another one, which shows the Sigma XQ formula, which is probably the one I was referring to:

A really beautiful 135mm lens with superb optics is the 135mm F 3.5 RE Auto Topcor. ie. 80 lines/mm center and corners at f11!

Another beauty I like is the Steinheil Munchen Auto Tele Quinar 135mm F 3.5 telephoto lens with chrome hood. |

It's one of the nicest-looking lenses I own; it looks like a lightsaber.
As a runner-up I'd say the Schneider Retina-Tele-Xenar. |
