Latest Review Posted | Consul 135mm F2.8 I picked this up as a package with another lens and a ME Super. This is 55mm which is a bit odd (at least to what I have been exposed to for 135s). In the same lighting conditions my metering was at 400 iso with this (on a K-X) compared to 1600 iso for my M135 3.5. They both were set at 8 and both produce great pictures, but the Consul is quite impressive. The bokeh is so natural and beautiful with this lens (the best of all my lenses). My aperture dial is very smooth, but almost has no resistance so that is easy and nice while shooting.
These aren't too common on Ebay as many of the 135s are, but I would recommend it if you want a manual focus, manual aperture that does extremely well for under $100.
I would say its sharpness is comparable to my Pentax-A 135 2.8. |
