Minolta 135mm f/3.5 Telephoto Lens

The Minolta 135mm f/3.5 is a classic short telephoto prime known for sharp performance, pleasing compression, and that warm Minolta color rendering. Lightweight and well-balanced, this lens is perfect for portraits, isolating details, street candids from a distance, and compressed landscapes.

At 135mm on 35mm film, you get flattering subject compression and smooth background separation without the size and weight of longer telephotos. These lenses are also popular for adapting to modern mirrorless systems thanks to their strong optical performance and smooth manual focus feel.
