Sony - G Master FE 135mm F1.8 GM Prime Telephoto Lens for Select E-mount Cameras - Black

Experience the pinnacle of prime lens craftsmanship with the FE 135mm F1.8 GM Lens for E-mount cameras, a testament to Sony's relentless pursuit of optical perfection. This large-aperture telephoto lens is engineered to deliver unparalleled corner-to-corner sharpness even at its maximum aperture of F1.8, coupled with the signature exquisite bokeh that distinguishes the G Master series.Crafted with precision, the lens incorporates XA (extreme aspherical) and Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements that meticulously correct aberrations, ensuring flawless image clarity. The advanced optical design, complemented by a floating focus system, maintains peak resolution across the entire focus range, from edge to edge.The lens's bokeh is rendered with a mesmerizing quality thanks to the extreme surface precision of XA elements, meticulous spherical aberration control, and an 11-blade circular aperture. These features converge to produce the smooth, elegant out-of-focus areas that elevate your creative expression, particularly when exploiting the narrow depth of field afforded by the 135mm F1.8 lens.Autofocus is swift, precise, and whisper-quiet, courtesy of dual front and rear XD linear motors. These motors ensure that the lens can keep pace with dynamic subjects, from portrait sitters to stage performers, with remarkable speed and accuracy, while minimizing vibration and noise - ideal for both stills and video capture.Despite its telephoto reach, the lens boasts an impressive minimum focus distance of just 2.3 ft (0.7 m) and a maximum magnification of 0.25x, making it a formidable tool for close-up photography. Capture small accessories and intricate details with sharp resolution against a backdrop of soft, beautiful bokeh.The FE 135mm F1.8 GM Lens is designed with the professional in mind, offering customizable focus hold buttons, a focus range limiter, and an aperture ring with switchable click stops. Its construction is both dust and moisture-resistant, ensuring reliability in challenging environments. The front element features a fluorine coating to repel contaminants and facilitate easy cleaning.Color aberration is expertly controlled with strategically positioned Super ED and ED glass elements, which not only enhance resolution but also reduce color fringing in both background and foreground bokeh. Sony's Nano AR Coating further elevates image quality by suppressing internal reflections, thus enhancing flare resistance and ensuring optimal contrast and clarity.The lens's barrel is constructed from a durable, lightweight magnesium alloy, contributing to its robustness without adding unnecessary weight. Manual focus is responsive and precise, thanks to the Linear Response MF feature, which mimics the tactile feedback of mechanically coupled systems.Customizable focus hold buttons are conveniently located for easy access, allowing for quick adjustments and control from any shooting angle. The focus range limiter switch enables you to predefine the AF range for enhanced speed and accuracy, while the de-clickable aperture ring offers smooth, silent aperture control, perfect for videographers.In summary, the FE 135mm F1.8 GM Lens for E-mount is a fusion of Sony's most sophisticated optical innovations, delivering superior imaging performance, operational versatility, and reliability for both photography and cinematography enthusiasts.
