Affordable 135 for portraits.


Recommended Posts

I have MINOLTA MD TELE ROKKOR 135MM F2.8 which cost me $80 on eBay, however in order to pair it with Fuji-X camera you need an adapter. There are two options - plain adapter (without glass) may be about $30 - $100 which multiply the focal length by 1.5 so you'd have 200mm and so called Focal Reducer which gives you original focal length and even one additional stop of light - 135mmf2 in my case, but it will cost you about $100 - $500. I have Metabones Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x ($450). Cheaper Chinese adapters (~$100-$200) may or may not provide an acceptable IQ.

I use the Nikon 135mm f3.5 Ai with Metabones adaptor on my X-t2. Great lens, build like a tank. Can be had for EUR 85,= (in the Netherlands) in minty shape.

The Nikon 135mm f2.8 is slightly better but is bit more expensive like about EUR 120-150,=
