Lens Overview — Mamiya 135mm f/4.5

The Mamiya TLR 135mm f/4.5 Sekor is a vintage medium format lens manufactured during the 1960s, designed exclusively for the Mamiya twin-lens reflex camera system. Mounted via the Mamiya TLR lens mount, this is an interchangeable lens built specifically for Mamiya's TLR platform — a relatively uncommon feature in the twin-lens reflex world, where most cameras of the era featured fixed lenses. The 135mm focal length positions this lens as a longer option within the Mamiya TLR interchangeable lens lineup, and the f/4.5 maximum aperture is characteristic of medium format glass from this period.

Operation is fully manual focus, consistent with the design conventions of the era. For photographers working with Mamiya TLR bodies and seeking a longer focal length than a standard lens, this Sekor-branded optic represents a period-correct, system-native option. Its vintage manufacture date places it firmly in the classic film photography era, making it a compelling choice for collectors and working film photographers alike who shoot with compatible Mamiya TLR equipment.
