Lens Highlights:

  • Focal Length: 135 mm prime—perfect for portraits, telephoto, and detail work

  • Maximum Aperture: f/3.2—brighter than the f/3.5 variant, offering shallower depth of field and better low-light capability (Pentax Forums)

  • Optical Configuration: 5 elements in 4 groups; delivers superb image quality, sharp, high-contrast images with vibrant colour fidelity and minimal distortion (BuhlaEtsy)

  • Minimum Focus Distance: 1 m (3 ft 3″)—closer focusing than the f/3.5 version, great for tight portraits and close telephoto work (BuhlaPentax Forums)

  • Construction & Finish: Solid metal build, manual focus—reliable handling and classic feel

  • Built-In Lens Hood: Integrated shade for glare reduction (though a deeper hood can enhance contrast under strong light) (Buhla)

  • Filter Thread: 55 mm—compatible with many popular filters (BuhlaEtsy)

  • Aperture Blades: 6 blades, smooth transitions for pleasing defocused highlights (KamerastoreEtsy)

  • Dimensions: Approximately 96 mm × 61 mm—compact and easy to balance on modern mirrorless bodies (Kamerastore)
