Fuji 135mm f/3.5 Fujinon-T Manual Focus M42 Screw Mount Lens Review

The Fuji 135mm f/3.5 Fujinon-T is a vintage manual focus telephoto lens designed for M42 screw mount cameras. Originally part of Fuji's film-era lineup, it remains a budget-friendly option for adapting to modern mirrorless bodies or using with classic film SLRs. At f/3.5, this lens is slower than many modern equivalents, but the M42 mount's universal adaptability makes it compatible with a wide range of camera systems via inexpensive adapters.

This particular listing is a used unit in bargain (BGN) condition from KEH, meaning it shows significant cosmetic wear but remains functional. At $77, it's priced for photographers who want to experiment with vintage glass without investing heavily. The 49mm filter thread is standard for lenses of this era, keeping accessory costs low. Manual focus and aperture control are par for the course with legacy glass, requiring patience and practice to master.
