Hanimex 135mm f/2.8

[Didnt know where to put this, mods feel free to move this to another section :)]

 

Does anybody have any experience with the lens? Is it a good lens for astro?

Can get one at a good price (35€) second hand, in theory mint condition, but has been used.

Any advice is hugely appreciated.

Thanks and clear skies!

Hi

At €35, maybe worth a go, if only to satisfy curiosity. 

A good 135 which I can recommend from hands-on is the Asahi Takumar 135. It doesn't cost that much more. There are f2.5 and f3.5 versions, although I believe the former to have fallen into the 'investment' category, with silly prices to match:(

Hi

Thanks for the info you provide. I think I will be getting it. It will be an improvement from my other crappy lens. I've heard prime lenses are better than zoom ones.

Thanks for your reply and help,

Clear skies!
