brother, you are the guru of manual lens lah!! beautiful pictures from this lens.
the 135/2.5 is a real keeper but it means really just that for me. i only keep and keep but never use. :bsmilie:
Hi bro, can you advise at which apearture did you use to take these pictures, Thanks .
Beautiful Colours ! Very sharp with smooth OOF areas.
Thanks for the advise on the MF lenses... I really like them as well
Why this thread all of a sudden? I thought you already had it for quite some time? Hmm...
Anyway, the K135/2.5 is a great performer, even when wide open. Pity I haven't been using it for a year or so. Some ol' shots that I fancy...
What's the market price these days for one of these beauties? I think I got mine for either $300 or $400 a few years back.
Hi maverickh either F2.5 or F4 on manual mode speed 180 to 250.

Best 135mm lens Pentax ever made..
Helloo bro Seefei, good to hear from you again after a period of quiet-where have you been instead of the Feb photo competition & the March outing?brother, you are the guru of manual lens lah!! beautiful pictures from this lens.

135mm mania is back again! Thank you bro Opera58 for this thread.
OK I got to take out my el-cheapo manual focus Sears 135mm (the one that can get the soft focus effect due to spherical aberration) and play, play but the problem is I'm too complacent with the uber fast AF from my FA 135mm lying around.
135mm is a great focal length for shooting candids without the subject being too conscious of the camera. Maybe we should all organize a 135mm "sniper outing" soon.
Good to see bro seefei posting here. BTW when are we going to have a drink together?
