A classic manual-focus short telephoto for portraits, details, and that beautifully compressed 135mm perspective.
The Vivitar 135mm f/2.8 Auto Telephoto Lens is a simple, satisfying way to add reach to a Minolta manual-focus camera kit. Its 135mm focal length is especially well suited to portraits, candid street work, close details, landscapes, and isolating subjects from a busy background. With its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and fully manual operation, it is a great fit for photographers who enjoy a slower, more intentional approach to image-making.
Designed for Minolta SR/MC/MD-mount cameras, this lens is a natural companion for classic Minolta film bodies. It can also be adapted for use on many mirrorless digital camera systems with the appropriate adapter.
Why photographers like the Vivitar 135mm f/2.8
- A flattering 135mm focal length for portraits and candid photography
- Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture for subject separation and lower-light shooting
- Ideal for picking out distant details, compressed landscapes, and tighter compositions
- Fully manual focus and aperture control for a tactile, deliberate shooting experience
- A nice way to expand a Minolta manual-focus kit without adding much complexity
- Compatible with Minolta SR, MC, and MD-mount film cameras
- Can be adapted to many mirrorless systems with the appropriate mount adapter
