Pros: Brightness, blurry, warm colors and striking sharpness given age, all metal and glass

Cons: Manual focus,

Opinion: Purchased on e-bay from Ukraine for my Canon eos 6D and 5DIV, I was surprised, for the blurry and sharpness even at f/2.8, I would say better on 6D but also on dense sensors like that of the 5DIV makes its figure. I had read more than positive reviews but I was quite skeptical,I had to think again. It is clear that manually sealing involves training and the predilection for a photograph we say "reasoned and meditative", but the results are more than satisfactory, on the market are found adapters, and I recommend to choose it quality and robust because the optics is massive and the attack to screw tends to unscrew. I would buy it back right away, and I can't wait to take full advantage of Covid19 allowing!!

Pros: Construction/materials, solidity, blurry, soft and precise dial, three filters included in the lens door, brightness!!!!!!!!

Cons: Heavy, obviously not AF.

Opinion: Inherited from my father's kit including his leather container and three colored filters that still fit well on the lens, he impressed me in precision and especially for the blurred, bought ring with cip that helps to find the points in focus, turns out a really nice toy despite the age!now I would like to try it with the olympus m4/3 of which I am in possession now but I do not know what ring to fit...

Pros: Robustness, precision, construction, bokeh, definition

Cons: heaviness, usability

Opinion: Purchased recently on Ebay... today's date is around 100 euros. One word. SPLENDIDA Despite its years (late 1950s) it returns images that have extraordinary and thanks to its 20 slats allows you to shoot at F5 and have that bokeh effect with soft bubbles and rounds difficult to find in other lenses. Having owned the Trioplan, I consider the Tair 11 superior to the ephaed and very expensive Meyer Optyk. He has a wonderful resolve, especially in the middle but manages to defend perfectly even at the edges. Maybe a little heavy and not really usable, but it's an extraordinary lens with huge softness. Once tested, I put the other 135mm in my possession on sale. I also used this lens to make (as a test) a macro and the result was astounding (see photos with the Cactus and the bubbles in the background). Shot at f5.2 ... I don't say anything else.... comments on its own. That photo is a pure extraction of the raw file, without crop. Probably, along with the Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.7, the best lens in my possession.

Pros: Very robust, only metal and glass, sharpness, lens hood built-in,20 aperture blades (....!!!)

Cons: Lacks the AF... but can be overcome with Full Time MF

Opinion: I bought it on e-Bay in January. Excellent b/w!! Beautiful colors, warm. The blur is beautiful, Pastellato.... open, thanks to the number of blades. I was enchanted by the beauty of the ring nuts. Flowing as few. Bright (f/2.8).... I fell in love with the B7N. Few lenses boast a B/w so. I use it with the Nikon D 610, with full time MF.... snaps at the speed of light. Overweight? I wouldn't say... it's a 135, made of metal and glass. Great for portraits. Any advice? Buy it

Pros: Sharpness, blurry, construction, ring, continuous scroll of diaphragm nut, diaphragm 20 slats

Cons: those who can have lenses of '55, having 20 slides of the diaphragm must be careful not to break the pins

Opinion: Bought used, left me for the sake. First of all it is a 2.8, which was remarkable for the times .... it is very clear even at the maximum opening, closing improves. The focus is very precise, the ring is extremely fluid, allowing you to photograph with extreme pleasure, and is built entirely of metal, robust ... the bokeh is remarkable, also thanks to the fact that it is a lens with 20 lamellas, an extremely high number, which guarantees a very blurry, pleasing and soft.rnIt needs to be mentioned: the fact of the 20 lamellas is a pro on the one hand, but one on the other .. you must be careful to rotate the diaphragm ring and make it gently, otherwise you risk breaking the pins who keep the blades in place, I happened to see 4 or 5 blades out of the seat and have a nice egg bokeh as well as spend 40 euros to fix it. For this great lens on all fronts, obviously just used, at a mo price desto, having an exceptional rendition.rnHave also the ringof sliding diaphragms, very comfortable.rn an excellent purchase.
