Composite of Four 135mm Lenses at f/8 with the NEX-7
Here is a first part of our 135mm focal length test used on the Sony NEX-7. This gives us an equivalent FOV of 202mm. We don't really shoot much at this focal length but we wanted to see how the NEX-7 and the various 135mm lenses worked with each other. These lenses are around the $100 mark with the exception of the Canon zoom. The lenses tested are:
- Canon 135mm f/3.5 LTM
- Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L EF
- Konica Hexanon 135mm f/3.5 AR
- Minolta 135mm f/3.5 MD
- Olympus 75-150mm f/4 Auto Zoom
The NEX-7 was set on Aperture Priority, ISO100, and 2 sec self-timer. The camera or lens was set on the tripod. Here are the pictures of the 135mm lenses with the NEX-7.

We'll post the images on Part 2 of the NEX 135mm Lens Battle.
The images from the 5 lenses above are posted in Part 2.
Where is the best and inexpensive old Leica Elmar 135?
ReplyDeleteWe don't have one to test. The lenses above are around $100 with the exception of the Canon zoom.
ReplyDeletewhat would you expect from the Praktica 135mm F2.8? without testing I guess it's impossible to say, but I believe this to be great lens.
ReplyDeleteWish we had that one to test as well. How much is that lens?
DeleteHi, How did you set the Canon 70-200/f2.8 to f8?
