According to our camera lens expert
Note: due to the high weight of 950g, this lens feels heavy in combination with a light camera body.
The Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM is a telephoto lens for Sony mirrorless cameras. You can use it for professional portrait and animal photos with a natural-looking background blur. This allows you to focus on your subject. Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/1.8, you can work in low-light situations. This results in creative portrait photos when a beam of light shines through the curtains, for example. The special XA and ED lens elements are equipped with special coatings for photos and videos with bright colors. On top of that, they reduce lens flare and chromatic aberrations to ensure high image quality. Since the lens supports fast autofocus, you can also photograph fast-moving subjects, such as animals or athletes. Thanks to the dual autofocus groups, you can focus from a 70cm distance from your subject. This allows you to make detailed close-up photos with the lens as well.

Been looking for the perfect 135mm lens for me for a while now. Tried the old vintage lenses, with fine results through smooth manual focus for portrait photography, however for landscape or street photography the resolution and contrast lag behind. Tried modern Samyang 135mm f/2 lens, which gives good photo qualities in all areas, but really excels in none. However, the manual focus is not pleasant and the lens is very large and heavy. The Sony 135 mm f/1.8 has a very fast autofocus and with Eye-off it sometimes feels like playing catch, so you can easily take beautiful portraits. The lens also delivers beautiful images for all other purposes.

Excellent 135 mm, suitable for portrait, product photography, landscape, indoor sports and for everything that comes your way that allows you to shoot with this focal point. Aperture open or squeezed makes little difference... always sharp. The autofocus speed is lightning fast and precise. No distortion or CA. Weight and size is a plus and is nicely balanced on an A7/9/1 series. Lens hood is of the better, with velvet interior, rubber edge and separate locking button. The focus ring is precise and smooth. Switch for MF/AF and focus limit is nice. Good quality carrying case included. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. This is really an excellent lens, really nothing to complain about. Top!
