Product ReviewsSONY ZEISS Sonnar T* 135mm F/1.8 ZA SAL-135F18Z Telephoto Lens

Best in class

Sharp, great color and bokeh. Almost no color fringing wide open. Has that Zeiss 3D look or snap. Great build quality and finish. Balance on camera fairly well when used with Sony a99. Metal lens shade.

Heavy and a large. Focus is a tad slow on older Sony cameras on a77-a99 it has decent focus speed. Its fairly quiet for a screw-focus lens but a update to SSM drive would be better.
I really enjoy using this lens. Its great for portraiture or shooting at low light events. Sharp, great color, and boken its my go to lens for shallow depth of field. Its a little long for some peoples taste but I love the images it can capture and try to find a photo to use it for. Downside is that its large and heavy with the hood attached some people think its a 200mm.
Manual focus with focus peaking, is the best way is use this lens.Read full review...

A Photographic Wonder

This is a big jewel in the Zeiss's crown lenses. They are all excellent. But this one is a truly superb lens. The resolution is fantastic. The color & light come out much better than a similar lens. In fact, there's no similar lens around. This is a unique lens. So much so that I'm prepared to bear with the weight (about 1kg), however weary I feel under a heavy lens. The automatic focusing works very well & the depth of field is reasonable. The reviews I had read proved to be true. I alleviate the weight by using a good padded strap to cushion it on my shoulder.Read full review...

"Super Magnificent lens"

Magnificent lens This 135 together with the 85, 50 and 35 fixed are the best of the best, in addition, using it with an alpha 99II are super lenses because the a99II, by the way, is excelent.
