Manufacturer description
The long-focus photographic lens "МС Апо Телезенитар-2,8/135М" is intended for "Зенит" type SLR cameras with a frame format of 24x36 mm and a М42х1 thread for attaching the lens.
The lens has a "jumping" aperture mechanism that automatically closes it to a pre-set value when shooting.
The "МС Апо Телезенитар-2,8/135М" lens has a multi-layer anti-reflection coating that increases its transmission and eliminates the harmful effect of glare on a photograph.
The lens has excellent image quality. By using special grades of glass, the chromatic aberrations of the lens are almost completely corrected, so the lens has good color reproduction of both large and small image details.
Light transmission: 0.90. Resolving power with isopanchromatic film R=130, mm-1: in the center of the field: 55; at the edges of the field: 40.
From the editor
The lens was produced by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant (USSR).
