Manufacturer description

135mm f/2.8 TELEPHOTO, MACRO LENS

These two lenses are among the physically shortest 135mm lenses available today. Despite their petite size, they have large, rubberized control rings for handling ease. Their 2.7X magnification make them ideal for portraiture and candid photography. The macro model is the world's only 135mm true macro lens, and it focuses down to 1/5 lifesize.

From the editor

Made by Tamron. Optically, the lens is the same as the [Auto] Tamron-F 135/2.8.

The lens was also produced for the Alpa Si 2000 35mm SLR camera under the name MULTI-COATED AUTO-ALPA 1:2.8/135mm FOR ALPA SWISS.

The macro version of this lens also existed. It had a closest focusing distance of 0.9m, weight of 480g, same maximum diameter and length.
