COATED 135mm f4.5 MICROCONTRAST Lens with 15 BLADED APERTURE. VERY nice condition. Polished and shiny. Collector's quality. NOT a fake. It shows signs of usage, but I doubt you collectors will find one in better condition. Glass is flawless. No; fungus, separation, scratches, cleaning marks or other glass problems. I've inspected it closely and been using this lens on my Sony A7ii &A7s. Aperture works smoothly. There are no dents, dings, or major scratches on the lens body. Leather case is in great shape too, and comes with the lens cap. This is a rare lens. Filmmakers and portrait photographers seek it not only for fine microcontrast, but also for the gorgeous bokeh given by the 4 elements in 3 groups, very similar to the Meyer Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100 2.8 or 50 2.9. 15 bladed aperture for up to 30 pointed sunstars is a combination not found in any other lens. This lens is incredibly rare and equisite. This coated "Travegon" version is much less common than the Travenar or a Zeiss Sonnar. This one is in collector's condition and I've tested it extensively on my Sony. The focus is smooth but in cold weather it "feels its age" and is a little stiff. In warm weather, it flows. This is not your action lens anyway. It's fabulous but it focuses backwards to the rest of my lenses I use and why I can part with this rare gem.
Check the two comparison images below. I did a direct comparison against a Pentax-M 135mm f3.5
