MC Revuenon 135mm f/2.8 (Multi-Coated)

The MC Revuenon 135mm f/2.8 is a classic manual-focus telephoto prime lens, highly regarded for its robust all-metal build and the "Multi-Coated" (MC) optics that provide improved contrast and flare resistance. Originally sold by the German photographic retailer Revue, these lenses were produced by high-quality Japanese manufacturers like Chinon or Cosina. With its fast f/2.8 aperture, it is a superb choice for portraiture and low-light shooting, offering a smooth, buttery bokeh that beautifully isolates subjects from the background. Its tactile focus ring and solid mechanical feel make it a favorite for both vintage film shooters and digital mirrorless enthusiasts.

Expert Advice The 135mm f/2.8 is widely known as the "budget bokeh king" among vintage lens collectors. It provides a highly flattering perspective for headshots and portraits, where the f/2.8 aperture creates a professional-looking shallow depth of field. Because of its M42 or Pentax K mount, this lens is incredibly easy to adapt to modern mirrorless cameras (such as Sony E, Fujifilm X, or Canon RF) using a simple, inexpensive adapter. For the sharpest results, we recommend stopping down to f/4, although shooting wide open at f/2.8 offers a soft, dreamy character that is perfect for artistic and romantic photography.
