Lens Overview — Olympus Auto-Macro 135mm f/4.5
Key Features — Olympus Auto-Macro 135mm f/4.5
135mm Macro Prime: A fixed 135mm focal length provides generous working distance between lens and subject, reducing the risk of disturbing small or sensitive subjects during close-up work.
f/4.5 Maximum Aperture: A moderate maximum aperture suited to controlled macro shooting, where depth of field is typically managed through focus rail positioning rather than wide-open shooting.
Olympus OM Mount: Designed natively for Olympus OM-system SLR bodies and adaptable to a wide range of modern mirrorless and DSLR cameras via third-party mount adapters.
Full-Frame Coverage: Projects an image circle sized for full-frame SLR sensors, making it usable on both full-frame and smaller format bodies without vignetting concerns.
Manual Focus Only: A fully manual focus lens that suits the precise, methodical technique typically used in macro photography, whether on a focusing rail or copy stand.
Lightweight 290g Build: At just 290g, this lens is easy to handle during extended macro sessions and adds minimal weight when mounted on a tripod or copy stand setup.

Description — Olympus Auto-Macro 135mm f/4.5
The Olympus OM-System M.Zuiko Auto-Macro 135mm f/4.5 is a prime telephoto macro lens built on the Olympus OM mount for SLR cameras. With a focal length of 135mm and a maximum aperture of f/4.5, it is purpose-built for the Macro category, delivering the extended working distance that a telephoto focal length affords when shooting close-up subjects. The lens carries a full-frame format designation, confirming its image circle is designed to cover full-frame SLR cameras.
Focusing is entirely manual — there is no autofocus system — which is a common characteristic of dedicated macro lenses from this era and suits the deliberate pace of close-up work. Image stabilization is listed as None, so stable support is advisable. The 49mm filter thread keeps the front element and filter costs compact.
At 290g, the lens is light enough for versatile use across studio and field environments.
