Questions
How much background blur and corner cat's-eye does the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8 produce?
Wide open at f/2.8, the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8 has a 48.2 mm entrance pupil (135 mm ÷ 2.8) and 99% bokeh roundness in the 90% corner (-0.1 EV corner falloff). In an upper-body portrait at 5.40 m, the sharp depth-of-field zone spans 39 cm (5.21 m to 5.61 m) with a 15° horizontal background angle of view.
Does the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8 show focus breathing at portrait distance?
Based on patent DE1282311B, tracing the focusing group at 5.40 m gives an effective framing focal length of 140.2 mm (+3.9% vs. the nominal 135 mm). You can toggle "Match subject size" in the simulator to see the framing shift live.
What optical design is inside the Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestor 135mm f/2.8?
The patent prescription (DE1282311B) specifies 5 lens elements in 4 groups. The interactive Optical X-Ray above traces rays through every surface in real time.
