Rexatar 135mm f/2.8 Auto MC Lens: Classic Telephoto for Portraits & More

The Rexatar 135mm f/2.8 Auto MC is a classic manual focus telephoto lens, offering a bright aperture and a focal length highly favored for portraiture, isolating subjects, and capturing distant details. This lens provides a fantastic blend of optical performance and a rewarding tactile shooting experience.

Bright Aperture for Versatile Shooting:
With its fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, this 135mm lens excels in various lighting conditions, allowing you to shoot in lower light without excessive ISO. More importantly, the wide aperture provides exceptional control over depth of field, enabling you to create beautiful background blur (bokeh) that makes your subject truly stand out.

Clear Optics with Multi-Coating:
The “MC” in its name signifies Multi-Coating, a key feature that reduces lens flare and ghosting. This multi-coating ensures better light transmission, resulting in improved contrast and more accurate colors in your images, even when shooting in challenging or backlit situations. You can expect sharp results with a pleasing aesthetic, ideal for capturing compelling portraits or distant scenes around Burke, Virginia, or wherever your photography takes you.

Timeless Manual Focus Experience:
Designed for manual focus systems, the Rexatar 135mm f/2.8 offers a smooth, precise focusing ring that connects you directly to your image-making process. Its robust construction ensures durability, making it a reliable addition to your kit for years to come. Whether you’re adapting it to a modern digital camera or using it on a vintage film SLR, this lens delivers a unique character and classic appeal.

Amelia Q. ★★★★★

Even with the haze, the bokeh at f/2.8 is buttery smooth and the manual focus ring glides just right for portrait work. The coating on the glass gives a warmth I haven't gotten from modern lenses, and the haze actually softens skin tones in a flattering way.

George ★★★★★

The bokeh on this 135mm f/2.8 is incredibly smooth for a vintage lens, even with the hazy coating it mentions. It’s given my portrait shots a dreamy, soft-focus look that modern glass just can’t replicate, which is exactly what I was after.

Carter J. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how sharp the bokeh looks despite the haze—the f/2.8 aperture really isolates subjects beautifully for portraits. It's a fun vintage lens with nice character.
