Our editorial take on the (none) 135mm F/2.8 Preset M42 Screw Mount Manual Focus Lens
This is a used 135mm f/2.8 preset manual focus lens with an M42 screw mount, sold in bargain condition from KEH. Preset aperture lenses require you to stop down the aperture manually before shooting, a throwback design less common than modern click-stop aperture rings. The M42 mount is a legacy standard that can adapt to many modern mirrorless cameras, making it a low-cost option for experimenting with vintage telephoto rendering or for photographers who enjoy fully manual shooting.
At this price point and condition grade, expect cosmetic wear and possibly some optical imperfections. The 55mm filter thread is standard and widely available. This is strictly a budget entry into vintage manual glass, not a precision tool for critical work.
- Very low entry price for a 135mm telephoto
- M42 mount adapts easily to modern mirrorless systems
- Preset design teaches manual exposure discipline
- Bargain condition implies cosmetic and possible optical wear
- Preset aperture is less convenient than modern or click-stop designs
