Ricoh AD 135mm f/2.8 Lens

The Ricoh AD 135mm f/2.8 is a classic short-telephoto lens from the golden era of 35mm photography—built for photographers who appreciate smooth rendering, solid mechanics, and timeless optical character.

With its fast f/2.8 aperture, this lens excels at portraiture, detail shots, and compressed landscapes. The longer focal length creates beautiful subject isolation and gentle background blur, while maintaining sharpness and contrast where it matters most. Skin tones render naturally, highlights fall off softly, and images carry that unmistakable vintage film feel.

Part of Ricoh’s Auto-Diaphragm (AD) system, this lens features an all-metal construction with a smooth, precise focusing ring—built to last and satisfying to use. Whether paired with a Ricoh SLR or adapted for modern digital bodies, it’s a versatile piece of glass with real character.

Why you’ll love it:

• Classic 135mm focal length ideal for portraits and detail work

• Fast f/2.8 aperture for low-light shooting and creamy bokeh

• Solid metal build with smooth manual focus

• Vintage optical rendering with natural tones and pleasing contrast

• A great addition for film shooters or digital adapters alike

A beautiful, no-nonsense telephoto lens that rewards patience and intention—perfect for slowing down and seeing a little farther.
