Pentacon 135mm f/2.8-32

09/09/2006
One of my favorite lens,  I suppose same quality than Carl Zeiss sister, but lower respected on the market. Enough sharp above f/4. It has 4 different variation, pre-set zebra, black finish auto and electric and the latest multi-coated version marked on the tube MC. Electric version generally better buy than auto , because more stable mechanically.
