I have to start getting rid of stuff I don't/won't use. As much as I'd love to keep everything I buy, space is running out in my shelf, and I need to start saving up for the K-7
Here are two 135mm lenses. Like everybody here says, there really aren't any bad 135s and the same can be said for these, though the Accura Diamatic one I think is really quite good. Just, not as good as my Tair-11A 135/2.8 or my CZJ Sonnar 135/3.5 or my Pentacon 135/2.8
The prices are pretty much what I paid for (and I consider I got them for a bargain).
Item #1: SOLD
Tele-Astranar 135/3.5 (probably went for various names, I've seen at least 2-3 variants of this in these boards): Officially the smallest 135 I've ever seen, this is a two ring preset aperture T-mount 135mm.
Cosmetics: 9/10
Mechanics: 9/10
Optics: 9/10
There are 16 blades that stops down to a near perfect circle. There is oil on the blades, but being a fully manual preset lens, does not affect usage. Comes with rear cap, but no front cap.
Price: $25US
Item #2
Accura Diamatic 135/2.8 (YS mount): like Spiratones, made by Sigma. Comes with YS-PET (Petri) adapter, but can be mounted on any cam with a T-mount adapter in manual mode.
Cosmetics: 9/10
Mechanics: 8.5/10 (just the slightest bit of non-smoothness during the travel of the focus ring)
Optics: 8/10, just some specks of dust and fiber, could use cleaning.
Aperture blades are oil-free and snappy.
Price: $30
You pay for shipping and Paypal fees (no fees if you're using Paypal balance w/in the US). Can of course accept other forms of payment like check, money order, etc. _________________ Sony α7R, Pentax 67II, Kiev-60, Hasselblad 203FE, 903SWC, Graflex Norita 66, Mamiya M645 1000s, Burke & James 8x10, Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic (4x5 and 3x4), Century Graphic (2x3), R.B.
