Very lovely lens for those looking for a lens that allows you to get closer up to your subject. The lenses for the Pentax 6x7, particularly the older ones frequently don't allow for close focusing distances. There are a few though and the 135 is one of them. Its called a macro but its not a true macro in the sense that it can't do 1:1 on its own, you'll still need an extension. Still, you can get much, much closer with it for things like portraits than you can with say the 105mm. All in all I'd recommend this lens for your arsenal as it provides a nice option/solution if you'd like to get a bit closer. And it very light weight as well.

This lens is great for portraits. One stop from wide open, it's already really sharp. The build is solid, as you would expect for such a professional lens. Not a macro though, despite the name, be sure you are aware of that before deciding to buy one.

This lens is simply a must have for any photographer. It is very sharp and the macro capabilities are worth their weight in gold! Other lenses (such as the 165 LS) have a minimum focusing distance that prohibits tight head shots or other close-ups. This lens is great for portraits of singles and couples and is great for shooting copy work (will shoot an 8x10 at full frame and can be coupled with extension tubes to shoot a postage stamp! This lens holds it's value since not many photographer's are willing to part with it (my philosophy there). Buy this baby and you'll never put it down!
The lens is in first class condition. Just as described. A good buy.

Very sharp and polyvalent lens. I use it like normal focus lens and for proximal pictures. A little short for portraits but excellent in all focus distances.
