Description — Rollei 135mm f/2.8
The Rollei 135mm f/2.8 Rolleinar-MC is a 135mm telephoto prime lens built for the Rollei QBM mount and designed to cover full-frame SLR camera systems. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it offers a reasonably fast aperture for a telephoto prime, giving photographers control over depth of field in their compositions. This is a manual focus lens with no autofocus functionality, making it well suited to photographers who prefer deliberate, hands-on focusing control.
The 55mm filter thread accepts a broad range of standard screw-in filters. Weighing in at 750g, the lens has a solid, substantial feel that reflects its SLR heritage. There is no image stabilization, so photographers should be mindful of shutter speed selection when shooting handheld.
As a prime lens at 135mm, it delivers a fixed telephoto perspective ideal for isolating subjects and compressing backgrounds.
