Specialist Note "The Pentor Auto 135mm f/2.8 (S/N: 2144386) is a fantastic example of a 'sleeper' lens. While it may not carry a famous brand name like Nikon or Canon, its optical performance is surprisingly good. The f/2.8 aperture is sharp in the center and produces a very creamy, 'vintage' bokeh that portrait photographers love. Because it is an 'Auto' version, it features the diaphragm pin for automatic aperture control on compatible film bodies. On a modern mirrorless camera, the long focus throw makes it incredibly easy to hit critical focus. It’s a heavy, substantial piece of glass that feels like a real instrument in your hands."

Condition Report Good condition. The lens barrel (S/N: 2144386) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The optics are clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The manual focus mechanism is smooth and well-dampened. The aperture ring clicks firmly at all stops, and the blades are clean and oil-free. Fully tested and operational.
