Rent NowMinolta 135mm f/2.8 Tele Rokkor-PF MC Mount Lens
Vintage Manual Focus Telephoto Prime SOLD AS-IS / REPAIR
The Minolta 135mm f/2.8 Tele Rokkor-PF is a classic, beautifully crafted mid-telephoto manual focus prime lens built during the golden era of Minolta’s all-metal mechanical engineering. Designed for MC-mount SLR film cameras, this portrait-length prime is highly regarded for its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, tactile handling, and smooth background compression. It is a favorite focal length for portraiture, candid street shooting, and isolating distant architectural details. Please note: This legacy lens is being sold strictly AS-IS due to heavy internal optical fungus and missing caps.
Key Features & Engineering
Classic 135mm Telephoto Compression: Delivers a flattering telephoto perspective that naturally compresses facial features and tightly isolates subjects from their backgrounds.
Bright f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: The fast f/2.8 aperture provides excellent light-gathering capabilities for low-light shooting and yields a shallow depth of field with smooth background bokeh.
Premium All-Metal Craftsmanship: Features a robust, heavy-duty metal barrel and an integrated retractable metal lens hood, embodying the durable tactile standards of vintage Rokkor optics.
Tactile Manual Controls: Outfitted with a deeply ribbed manual focus ring that offers a smooth, dampened throw alongside a physical clicking aperture ring for complete exposure control. Natively fits Minolta MC/MD SLR bodies and adapts easily to modern mirrorless digital cameras.
Item Condition & AS-IS Notes
Optical Condition (Heavy Fungus): SOLD AS-IS. Visual inspection reveals a lot of internal fungus growth blooming across multiple elements inside the optical block.
Performance Impact: Due to the heavy fungal accumulation, shooting with this lens as-is will result in a significant loss of contrast, softer details, and prominent dream-like blooming or flaring when shooting toward light sources. It is an ideal project candidate for a complete optical teardown and cleaning overhaul, a source for mechanical parts, or a budget-friendly lo-fi character lens.
Mechanical Status: The mechanical manual focus ring turns smoothly across the entire distance scale, and the physical aperture ring clicks responsively into place. The internal iris blades are dry and snappy.
Included Accessories: This unit is being sold bare. It does NOT include a front lens cap, a rear lens cap, or separate hardware accessories.
