I found 2 cheap lens. They are very similar but one of them "X-M" . what is it mean ? Is better MC version?

And how about sharpness? I hear its a cheap good lens. They are only 45$ is it worth?


1) PORST TELE 1.2.8/135 mm X-M LENS
2) 1:2,8- 135 mm auto-e porst tele

I have no experience with Porst, but wonder myself. I know of a 135mm f/1.8 for sale. Anyone know of this lens?

@woodrim

@tyrung
welcome to the forum!
i think you mean 1:2.8/135, right?
and i think that "X-M" stands for the "Fujica X-Bajonett" which porst also used with his CR-series. x-bajonett lenses can not be adapted to any current crop or full frame slr because of it's very short register without loosing infinity focus. i don't know if conversion is possible.

but the price seems to be quite high! you will get similar lenses for 5€ per lens if your search the bay.

Yes, That's it. I tend to like lenses with character. Think it's worth a go? Any idea what a good/appropriate price would be? M42, of course.

I wouldn't pay more than £10.00 / $20.00 for that lens Smile

Lots on ebay and at smaller photographic sellers Wink

The 135/1.8 is quite rare and sells for a lot Smile It is found under several sellers' names including Soligor.

I was thinking I could probably but it for under $100. No sense though if it doesn't offer anything out of the ordinary in terms of performance. I have a Vivitar standard 135mm f/2.8 that is quite good. Have been watching the Series 1 lenses as replacement, but haven't purchased one yet. Thought this might be like the Series 1.
