i own the fujica 135 2.5 and an older nikon 135   2.8 that i use   with a first generation speed booster on the  xe2\ xe1

 

 

i prefer the fujica   for its lovely render and crispness....  ut the nikon has served indoor without flash  with the speedbooster   in a pinch

I agree about the Jupiter-11, 135mm f4.  Very compact and sharp lens with a creamy defocus.

Hey man, would you mind posting a pic of your lens? (mounted on the camera too, if it's not too much to ask, but not as important)

- I find multiple versions of the lens that are very different looking, so I assume the design might differ as well

 

The second photo bokeh and the third photo background foliage ... damn ... it looks so old, film-like, and awesome

I just had to ask when I saw those! Nice stuff

 

Thanks in advance, either way

Out of these lenses, which would be the most compact?  (including the adaptor)

 

The OM I assume?

Yes, it might be OM — it's 360g.

 

I had an Olympus OM Zuiko E.Zuiko Auto ­T 135mm f/2.8. Compact with very good resolution. My Canon FD 135/2.8 has better contrast, though. Otherwise same optical performance.

 

Here's more about it:

This is a test on Canon FDn 135mm f/2.8 vintage lens on Fuji X-A1. 100% crops are from tif file processed from a RAW file using Adobe Camera Raw. Sharpening and NR were zeroed in ACR. The f/2.8 and f/3.4 crops have some contrast added. Otherwise no adjustment done. The test scene had a low contrast so it was quite challenging for the lens.

I only recently acquired one of the Fujinon 135mm f2.8 lenses after a frustrating attempt to find a Leica Elmar 135  that I could afford, but have to say I could not be happier.  I have adapted it to my X-E2 with a Fotodiox adapter that also has a tripod mount on the adapter.  So I find when I use it with my monopod, it really balances very well.  I'm just starting to use it & here are a few images taken wide open in an effort to test its' sharpness & out of focus results.  Also shown is a snap of the lens mounted on my X-E2.

Fujifilm X-E2 + Yashica ML 135mm f/2.8

f/2.8.

Like in most old lenses, you can observe blue glow around highlight and contrast area.

Good UV filter and higher aperture will reduce this effect

Hi Joel, if you want to get a jupiter-11 on a Fuji-x you can either get a LTM39 or a Contax Yashica Mount.  

 

CY mount use - Nikon(s)-FX adaptor

LTM39 use - LTM-FX adaptor

i`ve done a little shoot-out (sooc, iso 200, noise 0, sharpness 0, total, crop left upper, crop center) in the german forum between...

 

schneider kreuznach: tele-xenar 1:3.5/135; 6 blade; m42; adaptor kiwi

at f-stop 3.5 / 8 / 11

 

voigtländer: color-dynarex 1:4/135; 6 blade; m42; adaptor kiwi

at f-stop 4 / 8 / 11

 

olympus om: e.zuiko auto-t 1:3.5/135; 8 blade; oly-bajonet; adaptor quenox

at f-stop 3.5 / 8 / 11

 

...imho the oly is clearly the best of these three.

 

since i own a mint vivitar series1 1:2.5/90 macro (bokina) this is now my prefered short telephoto lense because of its additional macro capabilities.

[starlights]

I have a Vivitar Series 1 - 135 f 2.3 coming in a few days - I have my fingers crossed and am hoping that it will be good enough to post some images here. Has anyone else used this lens?

[cosinaphile]

the fujica 135 f 2.5 in m 42 screw mount .... lovely sharp and built like a miniature tank

[Palafren]

My two cents: Minolta AF 135 2.8, all shots aprox. f4 with K&F adapter on a X-T10

And for comparison, this is a fujinon XF 60 mm macro. f4DSCF1641 by Manuel Bustos, en Flickr

 

Both lenses are tack sharp. May be the fujinon xf is even sharper... or not, I couldn't really say

Great work. I just purchased an M42 Zeiss 135mm. It's like new, no dust, fungus, separation, beautiful lens. Takes extremely sharp pictures.
