The Soligor Tele-Auto 135mm f/2.8 is a vintage manual-focus telephoto prime lens designed for Canon FD-mount 35mm SLR cameras. Featuring a classic 135mm focal length paired with a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, it offers excellent subject isolation, narrow depth-of-field control, and strong low-light capability. Built with a solid metal barrel, smooth manual focus ring, and an integrated retractable lens hood, it provides a classic analog shooting experience for film photography on Canon FD bodies or adapted mirrorless camera systems.

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Ellie I. ★★★★★

Picked this up for my vintage Canon FD collection, and the full manual aperture ring is satisfyingly clicky. The f/2.8 is genuinely usable for portraits, though I wish the focus throw was a bit longer for fine-tuning.

Sofia A. ★★★★★

The manual focus ring is buttery smooth, which makes dialing in sharp portraits a breeze. For a 135mm f/2.8, it’s surprisingly compact and balances nicely on my FTb. The fast aperture really lets you isolate a subject beautifully, even if the coatings are a bit aged.

Riley ★★★★★

I was a little nervous buying an AS-IS lens, but the glass is clean and the f/2.8 aperture makes focusing in low light feel easy. It's got that solid, heavy feel of old metal lenses and the manual focus ring turns smoothly. Works perfectly on my FD body.
