I'm happy to be the first to introduce this great lens. I have yet to take my best pictures with it, so will add to these when I do. But for now, these pictures will demonstrate the wonderful character of the lens.

More from this past weekend and one of my favorite lenses. I was in Georgetown, SC; an interesting small, historic town with old time charm, fishing, boating, and industry right nearby in the form of a barely operational Georgetown Steel and International Paper Corp. The smoke stack in the background is IP. This lens definitely has a signature, and a lovely one at that.

Yes, Attila, every time I use it I get images that are distinctly different from what any other lens provides. Yesterday, on our Thanksgiving holiday, my daughter was kind enough to stroll the beach with me and cooperate for some portraits. Again, good sharpness against a unique creamy bokeh. Maybe sunglasses should have come off

Just perfect , she is a beautiful young lady , lens did capture her very well. Sharpness, color optimal in my opinion. Sunglasses did help to make them more fashion magazine looking than family member portrait. I love them!

Thank you Attila and Orio. Obviously I have fallen in love with this lens (love daughter too) and will continue to build on this best-of-lens thread when I get worthy images. My daughter very fortunately has gotten her looks from her mother, not me.

Had an opportunity to use this lens in a beautiful setting on an old Charleston plantation. Thought these shots might be worthy representative images from the lens.

Ok, I missed this thread before: I read a lot of good reviews/comment about this lens, but I didn't see many pics from it.
Amazing character from the lens, and beautiful photos.
Oh, and thanks for making me add yet another 135 to my wish list.

Certainly not a bad lens to have. Aanything: If it helps, this one is 133mm; you probably don't have that yet.

Is there a great difference in character between this 133mm and the 135mm variety?

As far as I know both have 20 aperture blades, when it arrives I´ll put them next to each other for a photo shoot

Anti-spam measure, links/images don't show in a first time post. 
Look forward to your comparison shots.

I think the comparison shots should go some where else? Taking in account this gallery is supposed to have topics with just pictures from one lens, or not?
Anyway, the seller of the lens decided to save me the 2 x 1 hour trip by train and came by today (what a nice service!) so, I now have the lens here already. It´s the tair 11-2 in m42 mount version. So I now wonder what is the difference between tair 11 and tair 11-2?
maybe someone has all three of them ? |
