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:

Very interesting post Michael. Especially Mitake and Yoshida as producers.

Some really nice lenses shown, but for me it has to be my Tamron Twin-Tele 135mm.

Please Note: This is not a 2 digit serial number, I have blocked the other numbers.

O.k. I cannot believe that the monster of bokeh has been omitted from the list!
Pentacon 135/2.8 (preset) is my favorite.

Piesker Picon 135mm f:2.8

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.

I agree with BRunner:

I�ve got the winner by default Wink

CZJ Triotar 4/13,5cm T - chromed brass


It's one of the nicest-looking lenses I own; it looks like a lightsaber. Smile

As a runner-up I'd say the Schneider Retina-Tele-Xenar.

For me its the isco 135mm 3.5:

or the Schneider edixa tele-xenar:
