Sigma 135mm f/2.8 Pantel - Unknown Mount

Similar to its f/3.5 sibling, the 135mm f/2.8 Pantel offers a slightly faster maximum aperture, providing better low-light performance and shallower depth of field. It retains the signature 'Pantel' ability to stop down to f/64, offering immense depth of field for specialised photography. This manual focus prime is built with a solid metal barrel and integrated retractable hood in many versions. When purchasing used, verify the condition of the built-in lens hood, as these can become loose or dented. The f/64 setting requires precise mechanical alignment; SDS ensures the aperture linkage is fully functional and that the blades are clean. We also check the optical path for haze, which can sometimes affect older Sigma telephotos, ensuring the lens delivers the contrast expected of a prime.
