First pictures with the S-K 135/3.5 on my Oly E-P1:

First wide open:


This one @ F/5.6:


Some chromatic aberrations because of the reflective material. Still not too shabby, I think!

If orio, you have reason. Schneider has done many lenses for cinema, it will be because of it?
It is a great lens and only I see a bit, very little, of CA in the high contrasts.
Very artistic the lens, full of subtleties the image.
And later I compete with the photographers who use a zoom 70-200 or 24-70 EF that gives a very flat image, without big Subtleties.
But with AF, je je je!!!
That is necessary sometimes.
Congrats

I saw Orio's very nice photos a long ago (yes "long" ago), then I tried to
get one and found out Schneider made several different Tele-Xenars,
One is macro-tele-xenar 75/3.5 (I am not certain F3.5 or not), 90/3.5,
and 135/3.5. Orio's is 135/3.5 which is fairly solid made and not too light.

I saw some examples in Japanese site for Macro-Tele-Xenar 75mm,
that was great too.

Though 90/3.5 lens is small but IQ is not great, except its MFD is very short.
I have not used my 135/3.5 yet, but Orio's photos tell you it's a great lens.

Mines are all ALPA-mount, since they are rather inexpensive due to their
mount is not popular any more.

my 90/3.5 was "cheap" because the filter ring had a dent. $75 Normally ~$200 on eBay.
my 135/3.5 was $70, since it misses a tiny screw to hold the front of
the lens head, it does not affect anything. Normally $250~$400 on eBay.
Macro-tele-xenar 70/3.5 is very expensive, no less than $600.
