Description

The Samyang 135mm F1.8 AF Full Frame Telephoto Lens for Sony E-mount is a high-performance prime lens crafted for creators who demand sharp detail, beautiful bokeh, and advanced focus control. Its 135mm focal length is perfect for portraiture, close-ups, landscapes, and astrophotography, offering a tight field of view and professional subject separation. The wide F1.8 aperture paired with a sophisticated optical design (13 elements in 11 groups, including 3 ED, 2 HR, and 1 U-ASP) ensures ultra-sharp results with stunning background blur. Whether you’re shooting wide open or stopped down, edge-to- edge sharpness and contrast are preserved across the frame. Videographers will appreciate the Linear STM autofocus motor, which provides fast and quiet AF with minimal focus breathing — a critical advantage for focus pulls and subject tracking. The lens also includes pro-level features like a Focus Hold Button (assignable to Eye AF and more), a Custom Switch for aperture control, and a Focus Range Limiter that optimizes autofocus speed based on distance. With a short minimum focusing distance of 2.26ft (0.69m) and maximum magnification of 0.243x, this lens is capable of capturing fine details at close range. Despite its powerful optics, the lens remains lightweight and portable at just 772g, and is weather-sealed for reliable outdoor use. Whether you're shooting handheld portraits, studio video, or nighttime skies, the Samyang 135mm F1.8 AF is a professional telephoto solution with the versatility, clarity, and control modern creators demand.

  • Outstanding Value, fast shipping.
Lens shipped right away and arrived double boxed, brand new with Firmware Ver 5 already on it, so this must be from a fairly new batch. Testing revealed this copy is perfectly well centered, so I hope that translates to good news for everyone else that Samyang's QC is improving. Autofocus is solid and predictable, and this lens is silly sharp. The bokeh is like butter, smooth transitions. The shot of my ever-present model, my poor dog (yes, she needs a haircut, heh), was literally the very first shot with this lens wide open @ f1.8. I'm a happy camper, especially at the great sale price of $499 ! ... show more

  • Great Bokeh, Solid Lens, Sharp
This lens is great. It was very sharp in the field. Took this at 1.8, 1/3200, ISO 125. Looking forward to trying sports photography next. Great bokeh. Love the two settings for aperture ring and focus ring. Can't wait to throw an extension tube on it and try some macro photography. Very solid lens!

  • Beautiful
Amazing lens, super sharp and beautiful bokeh. Continuous auto focus is just a little bit slow. But maybe it's just me that I havent found the right settings? Never used a lens of this focal length before... Still 100% recommend though 👌

  • Outstanding value, great performance!
I am not a professional photographer by any means, simply an enthusiast, but I really love this lens. It is sharp as a tack and the auto focus is quick. It may not have as many bells and whistles as the Sony prime, but has exactly what it needs to take stellar photos. I've owned the lens for over a year and a half and am very pleased. The attached shot was taken at a local concert featuring Leonid And Friends. ... show more

  • Stellar!
Having some of the very best lenses for the Sony E mount, I can safely say this is my favorite. Such a special quality to the pictures. Sharper than every lens I have and the rendition is special. Colors and contrast are chart topping. Handles direct sunlight in a way that is both clinically great as well as artsy (with a tiny bit of tasteful flare). Auto focus is good. Handles action pretty well albeit not perfect. For portraits though perfect. Simply put the best lens you can buy for the cash and one of the very best lenses made period. ... show more

  • Excellent sharpness, light in weight and good value
This is a review after half year using it. Excellent sharpness, fast autofocusing speed, good pricing, still remains the lightest in weight around the 135mm f1.8 e-mount lens in 2025. However the firmware is not up-to-date, I ordered this lens at Nov 2024 and came with version 4 (2022), I have to buy the Lens Station to update to version 5(2023) for my A7C2. At the moment of writing this comment, I've already own both 50150GM and samyang 135mm f1.8. I would still recommend this lens. ... show more

  • Identical, if not better, to the original Sony G Master lens
Wow. All I can say is I'm super impressed with this lens. It has surpassed my expectations. The picture quality and performance mirrors that of its Sony G Master counter part at a fraction of the price. $699 compared to $2k +. This lens is phenomenal. I will say, it is on the slower side of Auto Focus but if you're doing anything but sports or fast moving objects, you'll be fine....otherwise, spend the extra money and invest on the OG G Master. ... show more
