6 element 135mm f/2.5 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar, that is. Takumar is perhaps a bit sharper. I slightly prefer CANON for the colors and a little less annoying chroma. Here my last wide-open CANON attempts at street portraits. Ljubljana 2 days walk:

That Canon certainly does a great job of separating the subject from the background. I don't think you can go wrong using it. If the Pentax is sharper, I'd ask if the additional sharpness is necessary. If it were me, I'd be checking the difference in out-of-focus highlights between the two lenses and go with the one that had the more appealing bokeh. _________________ Michael

If someone can share Takumar's wide-open samples on NEX it would be great. I sold my sample sadly.

Very strong CA. The spherochromatic afectted the quality of the pics.
The canon seems to be better in this question. Isn't it? |

Thanks.
Are there only one versión of the lens?
If there are more than one, which is the one you are talking about?
Thanks again. |

I can confirm that the Tamron AD2 is a very good one.
Best is f4-f5.6, but f2.5 is not bad either. |

Thanks for this post!! I'm going to snag a Canon 135 2.5 SC for $30 or $40... will be interesting to see how it compares to my MC Minolta 135 2.8.

Be aware that it is heavy, really at the heavy side of the vintage SLR 135mm list. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51865628 I have one converted to EF mount but use it seldom. Should however given the images in this thread. The Ernostar/Sonnar optical design character shows favorably. In the bag I usually have the Minolta MD III 135mm 3.5 which is almost the lightest SLR 135mm and very sharp over the field. Added a Mamiya Sekor CS 135mm 2.8 for its low weight too, sharp but with more CA than the other two. All have EF mounts now. The M-S weighs 325 grams after the mount conversion. For portraits I prefer a 100mm lens but the thread shows a 135mm works well on the street. _________________ Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst
