Renowned for its capacity to enhance concentration, the Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM is a medium telephoto prime lens distinguished by its elegant and luminous design. Ideal for portrait photography, this lens also performs exceptionally well in close-range sports scenarios and offers a distinctive focal length for landscape photography. The G Master design emphasizes both sharpness and the quality of bokeh, while the lens features rapid autofocus performance and a robust construction.
Fast Design and Advanced Optics
This lens, a distinguished member of Sony's G Master series, is engineered to deliver exceptional resolution and sharpness by effectively correcting a broad range of spherical and chromatic aberrations. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enhances performance in challenging lighting situations and provides extensive control over focus placement when utilizing shallow depth of field methods. Additionally, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm enhances the aesthetic quality of bokeh when applying selective focus techniques.
An XA element is integrated into the optical design, providing exceptional surface precision that effectively manages astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and various spherical aberrations. Additionally, the lens design incorporates two extra-low dispersion elements, one of which is a Super ED element, to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, thereby enhancing clarity and color neutrality. Furthermore, a Nano AR Coating has been applied to diminish surface reflections, flare, and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and color rendering under bright lighting conditions.
Fast and Accurate AF
The XD Linear Motor system, along with the internal focus mechanism, ensures rapid, silent, and accurate autofocus capabilities, while also enhancing the ease of manual focus control in a more natural and intuitive manner. With a minimum focusing distance of only 2.3 feet, the lens achieves a maximum magnification of 0.25x, making it suitable for close-up photography. Additionally, the lens barrel is equipped with two customizable focus hold buttons, allowing for intuitive tactile control and quick access to preferred settings.
Weather-Sealed Construction and Intuitive Handling
The physical aperture ring can be modified to allow for seamless and silent adjustments, which is advantageous for video production. The design is sealed against dust and moisture, making it suitable for use in adverse weather conditions, while the rubberized control rings enhance grip in lower temperatures. Additionally, the front element features a fluorine coating that repels dust, moisture, and fingerprints, facilitating easy maintenance.
