Very nice Lars.

Thank you Hoan and Saut!

I must say, the lens is pretty good for a fifty`s 135mm Wink
Tanaka lenses are quite nice in general, just slightly behind the best Nikkor and Canon ltm lenses IMO

Very nice! What camera did you use?

Wow, I've always had a blind spot for pale, green-eyed, small-nosed daughters of vikings.

Especially models of Scandinavian photographers, often daughters or wives Very Happy

I have the canon ltm 135/3.5. It is heavy.
When I need a 135mm, the hexanon 135/3.2 wins.
If I need compactness, the jupiter 135/4 wins.

Can you post a photo of the lens and camera?

The Tanaka is lighter than the Canon silver 135mm, but size is almost the same.
