135mm on a crop sensor camera means a 200mm filed of view. I have bought this for my need of a telephoto lens. The German Pentacon 135mm I have is the one with 6 blade aperture, not the Bokeh Monster with 15 blade aperture. I use it mostly for street photography and portraits. The results were very similar (some of my friends considered that Hoya produces more pleasant images with sweeter colors), only that Hoya had a slightly weaker light transmittance than its rival from Fujinon, softer wide open, a little less contrast and some CA (aspects that Fujinon 35mm F1.4 controls very well). After receiving my 35mm lens from Fuji, I had the opportunity to test them, side by side, at different ISO and apertures. Very well built, solid, with a nice aperture ring, this wide-angle lens delivers very sharp images with great colors and contrast. I got this lens before buying the Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4. Some say it was built by Tokina factories, made in Japan. This was quite a rare lens with not so many information and specifications online. The sharpness is very good, mostly in the center and it is built like a tank. The colors are simply amazing, with great bokeh, the swirl type, from a fast F2.0 aperture. Very good for portraits, especially when mounted on a crop sensor camera, via M42 adapter. This lens came together with the Zenit film camera – I have the Moscow Olympic Games Anniversary Edition (1980). Almost the same thing, only cheaper and easier to find. My first legacy lens was the Russian Helios 58mm F2.0, which is a technical replica from the famous Carl Zeiss Biotar 58mm F2.0.

Apart from using Fujinon autofocus lenses, I have discovered a passion for old manual focus lenses. I used a Fujifilm X-Pro1 mirrorless camera and now a Fujifilm X-T1. Of course, you need an adapter to put a legacy lens on your modern DSLR or mirrorless camera.
In my short and limited experience as a photographer, I only used prime manual focus lenses. There are zooms and primes, most of them being prime lenses – fixed focal length lenses. What does it mean “legacy manual focus lenses”? Shortly, those are the lenses designed to work with film cameras, 35mm, medium format and large format. Not their history, you can find a lot of information here and also I can guide you to a vast catalogue of lenses, which I often use to search for specific old lenses and find out about their mounts and other specifications. In my short story I will talk about old legacy manual focus lenses, especially prime lenses. I have discovered this type of lenses when I first tried my father’s camera – the Russian Zenit, equipped with a Russian fixed lens.

About manual focus lenses, there are quite a few articles on the internet, to help you understand what this is all about and how to choose your ideal setup for your camera.
