Beautiful lens

This lens is sharp and has an amazing focus system. Great bokeh for portraits and prefer it over an 85mm. So far this is my first GM and it is well worth the money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This lens is totally fabulous particularly, for low light work. I tried it out at a stage performance this past summer and immediately returned it to the rental shop with money in hand. I've shot at least 10 low light stage performances sine then and have not regretted paying top dollar for this glass.

I to took the lenses out of the box and off I went! This is what happened after a couple of hours with no Lightroom!

I am new to the Sony photography ecosystem. The FE 135mm f1.8 GM is the first of two Sony lenses I purchased. This by far is the “Sharpest” lens I’ve used in a very long time! The colors it produces are stellar! I am amazed at how I can hand hold my camera with this lens at shutter speeds as low as 1/10. The sharpness is there! I would recommend this lens to every photographer!

This lens is perfect in so many ways. Perfect sharpness, perfect focal length, perfect bokeh. Now, I know that’s a subjective statement, but of all my lenses it’s my first choice for so many subjects. From concerts to portrait work, low light situations to indoor sports including volleyball and basketball. I just love the end results.

Outstanding performance for portraits

Sharp as a razor, beautiful bocke fast focusing. The quality of the lens in general is flawless. I can’t fault it at all. It is quite expensive but the results justify the price in my opinion.
One observation that bothers me: The sunshade is very deep and the grips for the fingers on the lens cap are quite shallow not allowing for a secure grip. In this awkward position the cap has the nasty tendency to jump off from your fingers hitting the glass! For such a big lens cap deeper recesses for a more secure finger grip would be appreciated. It is not a fault of the lens, just a design flaw of the lens cap. I wasn’t able to find something better from a third party manufacturer so Sony maybe an optional cap wouldn’t be too much to ask.

I have been a Leica shooter for decades. Since purchasing an A7r IVa and the spectacular 135 GM and the 24-70 GM, I am now convinced that this glass is every bit as sharp. Coupled with the A7…extraordinary!!
