Picked up a ISCO 135mm at a local flea market Wink

I have lot's of 135mm, but this is by far my smallest 135mm f/3.5. It's just slightly bigger than a Tamron Twin tele 135mm f/4.5.



First samples:

A good lens aside from slow speed. Mine is more recent and a bit plastic, but I find it sharp with good CA control and bokeh right up there with Tair and Orestor.

Size vs speed is very good. This lens is really tiny (for a f/3.5), but has still a decent speed for most situations

Given their age, I've always found most Isco lenses I've tried to have good CA control. These are nice !

I keep one of these unused for years. It has Exakta bayonet and my only Exa is the 1c, so M42.
But now I bought an Exa 1a. Twisted Evil Just needs to arrive.

I have a few versions of the lens with the plastic one providing what I think is the best bokeh. I have only recently started using the earlier version more since discovering it is much more useful with a focusing helicoid.

Very nice!
I actually received an Isco 100/4 this week. Still have to try it out.

Thanks fellas.
Yes the mfd is pretty miserable at just under 2.5 metres.
Also its bokeh is more pleasing to my eyes with a closer focusing helicoid.
The first three of my shots are with one fitted - forgot to mention that

Here are a couple of shots from this morning.
Shot at f3.5
No additional helicoid needed.
