Samyang AF 135mm f1.8 for Sony FE

Expressive telephoto lens with excellent image quality
The fast Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE offers excellent sharpness and high contrast in all image areas, even at the maximum open aperture of F1.8. The high-quality optical design with 13 lenses in 11 groups ensures first-class image quality and high resolution from the center to the edge of the image. Multiple special lenses (1x U-ASP, 2x HR, 3x ED) in the lens effectively correct chromatic aberrations and other aberrations.
This makes this premium telephoto lens with autofocus well equipped for difficult lighting situations and ideal for landscape, nature, astrophotography and portraits.

Harmonious bokeh and low closest focusing distance
The large F1.8 open aperture, together with the 11 aperture blades, ensures a soft and natural-looking background blur. Thanks to the harmonious bokeh, the main subject is effectively set off from the background.
Together with the very low closest focusing distance of 69 cm for a telephoto lens, this impressive bokeh makes the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE an excellent choice for portraits, close-ups and macro photography.

Precise, fast and quiet autofocus for stills and video
The advanced autofocus of the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE is equipped with a state-of-the-art linear stepping motor (LSTM). The autofocus of the 135mm telephoto lens focuses on the subject precisely and quickly, and works quietly and harmoniously even when shooting video. This makes the lens suitable for video content creators as well as sports and action photographers.

Innovative features for photo and video
The Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE is equipped with many innovative and practical extras. These make professional photography and filming even more comfortable and a real pleasure: Focus Hold Button, Custom Switch and Focus Range Limiter Switch.

• The Focus Hold Button is used to lock the focus. When it is pressed, the lens remains fixed at that distance. This is especially useful in astrophotography. Alternatively, this button can be assigned other functions such as autofocus eye detection (Eye AF).
• The Custom Switch lets you adjust the focus and aperture settings to your personal preferences. This makes quick switching between autofocus and manual operation a breeze. With the Samyang Lens Station (part no. 21970), you can customize the Custom Switch.
• The Focus Range Limiter Switch can limit the focus range of the autofocus to increase search speed. The switch has 3 settings:
• "Full" utilizes the full autofocus range from 69cm to infinity.
• "0.69-2m" limits the autofocus range to between 69 cm and 2 m and is ideal for close-ups and portraits
• "1.5m-8" from 1.50m to infinity is optimal for distant subjects

Lightweight for outdoor use
Weighing only 772g, the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE is one of the lightest autofocus telephoto lenses. At just 129.6mm long, it is exceedingly compact and easy to carry around, making it ideal for outdoor use.
The modern design of the body has also been optimized for outdoor use. The extra-wide, rubberized focus ring ensures full control and a high level of comfort during every use.

Effective weather protection
Thanks to the special Samyang Weather Sealing, the lens is protected from light rain, snow and dust. The multiple weather seals on the bayonet and inside defy even the most adverse conditions and ensure consistently high image quality without smudging.
