Every SLR system made one, most made several, they were sold in enormous numbers as portrait lenses, and then autofocus arrived and the entire installed base became unwanted. A clean M42 Takumar 135 or a Canon FD 135 costs less than a decent filter. On a crop body it becomes roughly a 200mm equivalent, and that is the focal length where industrial subjects start behaving properly.
