Not sure which lens you are talking about. There is no such thing as a 1-135mm zoom. Are you talking about the F3.5 135mm prime?
I have the Vivitar F2.8 135mm prime with m42 threads and it is actually a decent older lens. The focusing is real smooth and it can take decent pictures. But I only use it as a fun lens when I am in the mood for playing with manual shooting.

That's quite a good lens, comparable to the 135mm f/3.5 Nikkor, and actually better than the first 135mm f/2.8 Nikkor, especially at the maximum aperture.

Probably refers to the Series-1 lens. Awesome lens back in the day.

The Vivitar Series I 135mm lens was f/2.3, not f/3.5.

I have a 135mm f2.8 and used it many years as a portrait lens. With the cropped sensor on my Pentax K-5 it works great for the tight portrait shots.
