Manufacturer description

Whenever extra lens speed is essential, the 135mm f/2.3 Komura fills the bill neatly. Its extra light transmission, approximately 45% faster than the f/2.8 can be just enough to get the shot when the light is bad, or when short latitude color emulsion are being used. Despite its extra speed, the Komura 135mm f/2.3 is moderate in cost, light and easy to handle. Its five element construction assures crisp definition and excellent color correction at all apertures. It is available in custom models to fit a wide variety of single lens reflex cameras in the 35mm size. Its wide aperture makes it easy to see the image on the ground glass, even when the light is quite dim.

From the editor

A Direct Mount lens that was available for a number of SLR mounts. For a complete list of cameras/mounts, please refer to the page dedicated to the W-Komura 35/2.5 lens.

Later, a version with an interchangeable mount (so called "Unidapter" system) was released.
