Is price an issue?
I only have 1 and 6. Amongst them, I recommend 1. But it costs about double than 6.
If price is an issue I recommend the Jupiter-37.
Quality wise is very close to the best and only costs about 30 Euros, sometimes less (I paid 7 Euros for my first copy).

Does that mean, Georg, that you can get each of these lenses for a decent price?
Then go for the Sonnar. You won't do anything wrong with a Zeiss Oberkochen lens.

Personally, I have experience with these lenses:
- Nikkor-Q.C Auto 3.5/135 (very good performance, quite affordable)
- Olympus Zuiko Auto-T 3.5/135 (very good performance, quite affordable, very small)
- Jupiter 37-A 3.5/135 (good to very good performance, very affordable)
- TAIR-11 2.8/135 (very good performance, not easy to get cheaply)
- Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 4/135 1Q (good to very good performance, quite affordable)
- Jupiter-11 4/135 (good to very good performance, rather affordable)
- Revuenon-Spezial 2.8/135 (good to very good performance, very affordable, sometimes it goes for almost nothing!)
- Pentacon auto 2.8/135 (good performance, quite affordable)
- Weltblick 3.5/135 (good performance, very affordable, but rather rare)
- Enna Tele-Ennalyt 3.5/135 (good performance, quite affordable)
- Raynox Auto 2.8/135 (OK performance, not often to find)
- Tamron Tasei Kogaku 2.8/135 (OK performance, really rare)
- Panagor Auto Tele 2.8/135 (not really good, perhaps I had a bad copy)
- Opticam 2.8/135 (all in all mediocre, not often to find)
- Greens London 3.5/135 (good performace, but breaks easily!)

Food for thought on this. I have two 135mm lenses. One is a Pentax SMC 135/3.5 and the other is a Leica 135/2.8. Initial testing show that both are pretty much equally sharp. It's winter here so they have not seen much use and with all the overcast days I have not really been able to aptly judge the color or contrast of the lenses. I can say that the Leica seems to capture the shade graduations in snow scenes very well. The Pentax was under $100 while the Leica only cost me $150.

I really would not know from personal experience, but I'd recommend to look out for a Pentax Takumar 135m 3,5 From what I read it is a very sharp lens and it's build quality is as good as it gets - and it sells for as little as 10 to 20 Euro on ebay.
I bought one recently and paid more for it ( abt 35 Euro ) but it is in mint condition and complete with original caps and case. I find it's build quality amazing and a joy.

I have only one 135mm lens - it's Tair-11A. I like this lens for its good sharpness, colour rendition and bokeh. I don't like the design of the barrel, but it isn't very important. The lens wasn't expensive, I paid for it ~35€ (with case and filters, including shipping). The prices are rising, now Tair-11A costs 50~60€ in Poland - but it's still much cheaper than Zeiss Sonnar 3.5/135. Some prices are crazy here!
BTW I love beautiful, ancient design of Zeiss Triotar 13.5cm, old Sonnar 13.5 cm and Jupiter-11 (two versions: 1st thin and long; 2nd bulky).

5 Jupiter 37 135/3.5
and the Panagor 135/2.8 coming.
I am not sure there is a bad one among them, it's a focal length rather like the macros - many manufacturers have made good ones. Obviously the one I rank at the top is the pricey one - the fast nikkor - but I find I use the others almost as often for their different characters. Most recently I have enjoyed he Tair, which is a real sleeper.

Still difficult to choose.
For the Tamron I have mistakenly put 2.8/135, it should be 2.5/135mm.
But as I have seen, it is not among your favourites...
I will see what I can get for less than 100€... |

I own Jupiter 37, Zeiss electric and I am looking for Tair.
But my fave is Tamron BBAR Multi C 2,8. Not as sharp as the others (well almost), but the colours and the almost 3D magic IQ is just one of a kind.

Don't rule out the Tamron _ it's a good lens, wide open it's 'portrait lens' soft but sharpens up very quickly.
For 100 euro's you can pick up 2 or 3 very good 135's like the rest of this mad bunch

Bob, can you explain the etymology if " 'tog ", please?
It's interesting to read such colloquial terms...

My favourite 135mm - a cosina f2.8. There are at least a couple of these manual cosinons about, The printing around the lens rim reads: Cosinon auto MC F=2.8 f=135mm No.785946.
I've had two cosina 135mm's and the other wasn't anything to write home about. Here's a pic of the good lens.
And this is what the lens can do do wide open
Hope you like it, the other 135mm I can recommend is the manual focus chinon from the same 1970's era. |

I have that lens and feel the same way - it's deadly sharp with excellent colour rendition. Right now I am still developing my affections for the Tair

For the Tamron I have mistakenly put 2.8/135, it should be 2.5/135mm.
But as I have seen, it is not among your favourites... |
Don't rule out the Tamron _ it's a good lens, wide open it's 'portrait lens' soft but sharpens up very quickly. |
It's just like 50mm or 85mm lenses: there are so many good 135mm lenses. I second (third?) the Tamron 135/2.5. A very nice lens, sharp, compact, with nice colors. And it's an Adaptall lens, you can use it on any present or future camera!
Cheers!
