SAMYANG AF 135mm f/1.8 Sony E
Because portability is such an important factor, as it is a lens that is often used for portraits with shallow depth of field, we had to take the skills of optical design, mechanism design, and electronics to the highest level to create a high-class telephoto prime lens.
MADE FOR EXPRESSION
Samyang Optics has launched the MF 135mm, a representative telephoto lens that has been loved for its excellent resolution since its launch in 2015, as an AF lens to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its release.
Usually, the MF 135mm F2 lens has been loved as a lens for portrait photography thanks to its beautiful background expression, but over time, the MF 135mm has gone beyond portrait photography and has become more popular for landscape and astrophotography with excellent resolution at a bright maximum aperture.
Introducing the Samyang Telephoto AF 135mm F1.8 FE, equipped with outstanding optical performance recognized for over 50 years, ever-evolving AF performance, and convenience features.
EXCELLENT RESOLUTION
Not only is resolution excellent, but weight is also important when shooting portraits.
Especially in a portable photography environment, the benefit of the lightweight lens is huge, so innovative technology was needed to combine resolution and weight at the same time.
The Samyang AF 135mm f/1.8 FE is lighter than other 135mm lenses that support the Sony FE full-frame mount, but achieves impressive resolution across the entire image area and expresses the subject with crisp image quality.
It can capture the details of the subject, from the flowing hairs of the models to the twinkling of nebulae light years away with unprecedented resolution!
INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE OF SAMYANG'S ADVANCED OPTICAL DESIGN
Optimal resolution is achieved through the optical design of 6 special glasses (3 ED, 2 HR and 1 U-ASP) between 13 elements in 11 groups.
Three extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses produce sharp image quality by effectively controlling chromatic aberration.
Equipped with two high refractive (HR) lenses with excellent refractive index and an ultra-precision aspherical (UA) lens, they provide excellent sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image.
EXTREMELY NARROW DEPTH OF FIELD AND BREATHTAKING BOKEH
The AF 135mm f/1.8 FE uses a large-diameter aperture to provide smooth background blur.
It effectively separates the subject from the background, using a shallow depth of field. Plus, it's equipped with UA (Ultra Precision Aspherical) lenses, so you can enjoy natural and refined bokeh.
Using this smooth bokeh, you can freely create your images by highlighting your subject!
SHORT MINIMUM FOCUS DISTANCE
Although it is a 135mm telephoto lens that effectively controls aberration at all focusing distances, it was possible to achieve a minimum focusing distance of just 0.69 meters (2.26 feet) and a maximum magnification of 0.243x for close-up photography.
Small props and other subjects can be captured with remarkable resolution and smooth, beautiful background bokeh.
ADVANCED, FAST AND QUIET AF FOR STILLS AND MOVIES
Tracking your subject accurately and quickly, AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video.
Samyang's Linear STM (Stepper Motor) satisfies photographers and videographers with quieter and more precise control of focus lens groups.
The optical design minimizes focus breathing, which is especially advantageous for video recording.
There is almost no change in the angle of view when adjusting the focus from close focus to infinity, so you can experience professional cinematic effects while shooting video with the subject moving forward or backward or focusing from the front or back.
CUSTOM BUTTONS TO MAXIMIZE OPERABILITY AND RELIABILITY
The AF 135mm F1.8 FE has 3 different custom buttons such as the Focus Hold button, Custom Switch, and Focus Range Limiter Switch to improve usability.
Focus Hold Button:
Pressing this button on the lens will keep the lens locked at that focusing distance.
You can assign functions such as Eye AF in the camera body settings.
MODERN DESIGN AND WEATHER SEALING
The AF 135mm F1.8 FE has been developed and improved, taking into account not only the design features but also the user's shooting environment.
It has a micro-patterned rubber focus ring, which is great to operate and the weather seal protects the lens from light rain, snow and dust.
You can easily know the status of Astro-Focus mode with LED Index when shooting at night.
