Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135 mm f/ 2.8 Zebra. Produced in the years 1966-1971. Built with five lenses. It has 15 blades operating in the range from 2.8 to 22. Made of metal. It is very handy but litle to heavy. Really sharp begins only from a stop F.11, below works decently for short distances. As with all lenses brands Meyer perfectly reflects the colors (this model gives them more gently). Definitely sharper than its successor (Pentacon 135 f / 2.8 MC). The Internet is commonly called - bokeh monster. (I'll try to check it out in the next couple of lenses bokeh test).
