How we gradeHow this lens renders
Compared to other telephoto lenses with the same 135mm specs, this Pentacon Auto MC traces its lineage to the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor design. Its standout feature is the warm tone that renders skin delicately — ideal for portrait work. As for sharpness, wide open at f/2.8, it delivers the soft rendering typical of vintage lenses from that era — it captures details adequately but not aggressively. Stopping the aperture down to f/5.6-f/8, sharpness comes through fully, satisfyingly sharp across the entire frame. With a focal length of 135mm and an aperture of f/2.8, this lens melts the background beautifully. The bokeh is creamy and pleasing, and in moments where the background has detail, you'll see swirly bokeh with dimension — a signature that's hard to find elsewhere. The lens features multi-coating to help with contrast. Overall, this is a manual focus portrait lens that's fun to shoot with — offering both image character and great value. Worth adding to a collection.
