Pentax 135mm f2.5 Analogue camera

For sale: a vintage Asahi SMC Pentax 135mm f/2.5 medium telephoto lens with a K-mount, complete with the original removable hood (also compatible with the 200mm models and the 85-210mm zoom) and front cap branded Pentax. This lens is historically renowned among photographers for its exceptional maximum luminosity of f/2.5, which magnificently isolates the subject from the background, creating a soft, creamy, and highly artistic bokeh. The 135mm focal length is considered ideal for portraiture, reportage, and distant detail photography. Thanks to Pentax's famous multi-coated SMC treatment, the lens ensures optimal light transmission, high contrast, and warm, faithful colors, while minimizing unwanted reflections even in direct or backlit lighting conditions. The lens barrel features the brand’s classic all-metal construction, solid and extremely durable over time. The generously grooved focus ring provides excellent grip and smooth manual focusing with exceptional precision. The aperture ring responds with precise clicks from f/2.5 to f/32. The aesthetic of the specimen in the photo is well preserved, with legible and sharp scale markings. This is a lens highly sought after by both collectors and modern photographers who want to adapt it to mirrorless cameras for characterful portraiture.
