Super-Multi-Coated TAKUMAR 135mm f/2·5 — 135mm lens has traditionally been most popular telephoto or long-focus lens in general outdoor photography and in portraiture. For portraits, relatively tight cropping at about 1·6 metres will optimise perspective effects, avoid “pulling out” of facial elements with standard lens used close or flattening of features with this or longer lenses used at greater distances. 135mm f/2·5 lens advantage of unusually fast aperture for low-light-levels and action stopping. Compact telephoto design.1


Distance engravings in yellow (metres) and blue (feet); red IR marker.
