The first thing that strikes one about this lens is the build quality. It's made of metal, unlike most of the plastiky new lenses you get today. It feels lovely to the touch: everything moves with precision. It's 35 years old, but it feels like it will last another 35! It's also quite small and light, which makes it ideal for travel. It's short enough to fit into an SLR camera carry case mounted to the camera. The next surprise is the image quality. I'm using it on a Nikon D7200. It works great in Aperture priority mode and the results are staggering! It's pin sharp at f/3.5 and it just gets better until about f/16. Outstanding piece of kit. 5 Stars

Not sure how many stars to give this lens. It is not a Leica or Zeiss, but it sure if sharp and contrasty. I could not give it 5, so I settled on 4 stars. But I like it and you should definitely consider getting one, if you need this focal length.

The discription of the sale item was very clear. As a potential buyer I could quickly see in both the written text and in the photographic illustration that it was what I was seeking. I could see that the item, a camera lens, was an upgrade of an older Nikon lens which I have had for qite a few years. This lens will make it possible for me to use it in a camera, a Nikon F model which I have owned since I purchased in Japan in 1961 and one or more much newer Nikon camera bodies. I have six bodies which I can use on this lens. When I can carry interchangable lenses for my camera bodies I save many pounds of luggage. The discription of the sale item made it possable for me to make my bid and I was pleased to be the winner and to add it to my collection of interchangable lenses.
I found this via KenRockwell's website. This lens may be old, but it is quite sharp and as you can see from my humming bird photo taken on a D700 body....it's quite nice!

If you can find this lens cheap you will not be disappointed. And by cheap I mean compared to the price of any modern day 135mm prime. You get everything you need out of this lens, color, contrast, sharpness. Sharpness however is solely dependent on you're ability to manual focus. But once you've hit the mark it's beautiful. If you find one at a low price is great condition snatch it up.
