Both lenses single coated.

Both from the 70's

Good reputation.

Which is the best for you?

I don't own the Mamiya but the Konica Hexanon is the sharpest of their 135mm's. It's also excellent for close up photography.

I do not own either one but the Mamiya Sekor SX 135 2.8 should be optically identical to the Rolleinar MC 135mm 2.8.

The Mamiya Sekor CS 135mm 2.8 differs in optical design. I have it and it is sharp in the center but with lots of CA at the edges. I prefer the Minolta MD III 135mm 3.5.

Rolleinar MC was made by Mamiya. IT's the SX lens with better coated..
Except the 28/2,8 second version almost all Rolleinars are Mamiya SX lenses.
The second 28/2,8 is the CS version.
The macro 105 is not SX.
The TL/DTL mamiya lenses are very good tokina ones.

This list is my rough guide on that subject.

Excellent. Thank you.

The TL/DTL 135/2,8 is a Tokina lens.

The SX has 4/4 formula too but IT's had a different design. IT's a diferente lens with different rendering

Interesting... Do you happen to have sample images taken with the Konica, including close-ups?
