Great value lens to add to my kit. 135mm is great for portraits and landscapes and the at 2.8, it is not super contrasty, but quite sharp with very little chromatic aberrations. Great for the price.

All in all a less than run of the mill, uninteresting example of legacy 135mm glass.
Colors and contrast are generally neutral. Bokeh is just...plain.
Overall IQ and sharpness are best, and still only ok, at f11.
Minimum focus distance of 8 feet is another hit against the lens.
For handling - focusing is smooth but imprecise with about 75º of travel.
The A/M mechanism isn't really a switch, but rather the entire plate under the aperture ring rotates.
Sample images at f11 without PP.
