Tokina Multi Coated 135mm f/2.8

Tokina Multi Coated 135mm f/2.8 | Good Condition | The Classic Portrait Prime

The Tokina 135mm f/2.8 is a classic telephoto prime lens celebrated for its exceptional build quality and its ability to create a beautiful, shallow depth of field. As a multi-coated (MC) optic, it is specifically designed to handle challenging light by reducing flare and maintaining high color saturation. The 135mm focal length is widely considered the "gold standard" for portraiture, as it provides a flattering compression of facial features and a smooth, creamy background blur (bokeh). This all-metal lens is a testament to vintage Japanese engineering, offering a tactile and precise manual shooting experience.

Specialist Note "The 135mm f/2.8 is one of Tokina's most successful vintage designs. It is often referred to as a 'bokeh machine' because the f/2.8 aperture combined with the 135mm reach makes the background simply melt away. This lens is particularly popular among digital mirrorless users who adapt vintage glass, as it offers a level of mechanical precision and optical 'soul' that is hard to find in modern equivalents. It is heavy, solid, and produces a very pleasing, nostalgic image character."

Condition Report Good condition. The lens barrel shows normal signs of light use and minor surface wear. The multi-coated glass optics are clear and free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The aperture blades are clean and snappy, and the manual focus ring operates with a smooth, consistent dampening. (S/N: 886038)
