Beautiful lens
I grabbed 2 quick shots, it was already dark so had to use high ISO's
Both were at f2.8

Renders exactly like it's 2.5/105 brother - very sharp but low contrast and pleasant bokeh.

This is a good (heavy) version. I have three different of those 135mm Sankors and one of them has a different formula. The version who looks like the fantastic 105mm f/2.5 is not as good as this lens and the very old version in m42 (not T-mount).

Interesting. This one looks like my 2.5/105.
Sankor made a lot of lenses of different models and they appear in at least 4- or 50 different brandings.
I have collected a few, thinking the 2.5/105 might indicate how good all Sankors are. Sadly not, the 28 and 35mm Sankors are good, not great, but better than most third party 1960s lenses. I have two different Sankor 200mms, both are mediocre, sadly. I was trying the 3.9/200 of the same vintage as the 2.5/105 I have and it's not bad, low contrast, a little soft wide open, not bad in sharpness stopped down, only a little CA, less than most old telephotos. I'm not happy with it though, I'd like better performance.
I fixed the contrast in this example.

Nice lens.
A beauty, sure.
Very low contrast. Prone to flare in open shade, cloudy days, etc.
My copy was plenty of CA, I had to sell it. But perhaps was a bad copy.
Good luck. |

Yes, this is the weakest version. Simpler design and more lightweight. Has quite a lot of CA wide open too and not as punchy and sharp wide open.

I have the "new" one and the "old" one (actually several of the old one).
I don't see a notable difference between them in results.
I have had the "new" one for decades and it was a particular favorite in film days.
Well, I am not very picky I guess.
I agree re the 28 and 35, they are mediocre at best. The 28 I have has, I think, a defect. It has truly terrible corner problems.

I don't really mind the low contrast, in combination with the smooth bokeh and color rendering I think it has a nice dreamy look. Might work out very well for portraits, unfortunately I do not have willing models

I do quite like the results from the 28 and 35, and I used them on a 24mp FF camera. The reason I put them to one side is that I already had superior lenses in those lengths, but they are perfectly usable if you don't mind doing some PP.
35mm on a850:
28mm on a850:
28mm on NEX-3:

#5 is really nice Ian, but most lenses can do decent with PP
I have the 35mm and I agree too, average at top.
I made a quick lineup of the lenses we are discussing:

Of course they have been PP'ed, I didn't keep the raw images, I should have mentioned the PP, sorry.

@nordentro
Thanks for bringing all the lenses together in one picture, i got a bit confused along the way about which versions were good and which weren't
So if I understand correctly, the version on the bottom right isn't as good as the other two.
Is there a difference between the other two?
And the f3,5 versions, is there a difference?
Or are the differences just in the cosmetic finish?
My f3,5 version is the second one and my f2,8 version is the first one.
It was raining all day, did't have the chance yet to make a comparaison.

Yes, the bottom right version has a different internal design and is the weakest. The two 135mm f/3.5 are similar and the two other 135mm f/2.8 are similar. The 105mm is however the best lens of them all

Mine is the 2.8, but as the photo of the lenses from Nordentro show, there is a 3.5 that is very similar to mine.

I bought it because it had so many iris blades. I just poked it out of my window and it seems impressively sharp in the centre and across the frame at relatively close distances.
It is also incredibly small compared to my other 135mm lenses.
