Hello guys,
I have the opportunity to buy this lens for 100 euros. Mint condition with all caps and storage box and even Russian papers.
I already have the Zeiss Sonnar 135 3.5 MC(m42). How does this lens compare to the other good 135mm ?
Is this lens a must buy and is 100 euros a reasonable price ?
Thx ! |

Seems maybe a tad high in price, but is one of my top two 135mm lenses. I should note that mine is Tair-11 133mm.

It's a lens I really like, it's worth having, IMHO
The price is quite ok (not a bargain, though): I see many in excellent condition go for around euros 75-80 - maybe without box and papers.
Having already an excellent 135 maybe you could wait to find it for cheaper.
But, as people say, an itch has to be scratched

It's a great lens with wonderful pop. And it feels and smells very industrial!

For 100 EUR or little more look Carl Zeiss Sonnar 135mm f2.8 T* , coating is better than Tair and lens is less heavy.
