Sankyo Kohki Komura 135mm f3.5 LTM on X-E2s

[Oldhand]

A quite long lens for a 135mm and possibly my longest 135mm lens.
Anyway, here is a picture of the lens and some of its work.

All nice!
For someone with many 135mm lenses would you recommend this lens?
If so why?

[Oldhand]

Thank you uddhava.
That is a good question, and I suppose it can be interpreted as......"does this lens have a character of its own that makes it different from other 135mm lenses?"
I haven't been able to find a schematic for it but the refections seem to indicate that it is a five element lens.
Whether it is a sonnar type I cannot tell.
It is sharp from wide open and gives good definition at most apertures.
If you can get used to its length, it is easy enough to use and focuses down to about 4.5 feet or about 1.35m.
Here are a couple more images. The bokeh is pleasant enough.

A rainy overcast afternoon.
New shoots on the murrayas.
Perfect for black and white.
