Description from the seller
Olympus OM System E.Zuiko Auto-T 135mm f/3.5 is a classic vintage telephoto lens highly regarded by collectors and analog photography enthusiasts for its exceptional compactness and optical performance. Introduced as part of Olympus's revolutionary OM system, this exemplar bears serial number 219329 and represents Japanese engineering craftsmanship of the seventies. The lens is composed of five elements in four groups, a configuration that ensures excellent sharpness and a soft, pleasant bokeh, ideal for portraiture and wildlife photography. Esthetically, the lens is in excellent condition, with a robust metal body showing minimal signs of wear. The front element appears clean and the anti-reflective coating is intact, ensuring high-contrast shots with faithful colors. The focus ring is smooth and precise, allowing millimetric control of the focal plane, while the six-blade diaphragm is responsive and free of oily residues. The Olympus OM mount makes it compatible with all OM series SLRs and easily adaptable to modern digital mirrorless cameras via simple adapter rings. This exemplar is a valuable addition to any photographic kit, combining the portability typical of Yoshihisa Maitani's designs with high-level optical performance.
