Designed for portraiture, landscapes, and astrophotography, the AF 135mm f/1.8 FE from Rokinon is a medium-length telephoto prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Offering outstanding resolution, the optical design incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements and an ultra-precision aspherical element, which suppresses both chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness, color accuracy, and clarity. An ultra multicoating has also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare in order to achieve higher contrast when working in strong lighting conditions.
The lens has a linear STM autofocus motor for quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance, plus a minimum focusing distance of just 27.2" to suit working with close-up subjects. Three different customized buttons for enhanced functionality include a focus hold button, a custom switch, and a focus range limiter switch. It also has an astro-focus function for astrophotography. The weather-sealed construction offers protection against dust, light rain, and snow.

Rokinon 135mm f/1.8 AF Reviews
Lighter, cheaper, great images, no regrets
Love this lens for the compression and bokeh/shallow depth of field it provides, ESPECIALLY considering how lightweight it is and how much less expensive it is compared to other brands' offerings. It's easy to carry around and doesn't feel unwieldy on my a7Cii; couldn't say that about the equivalent GM offering that I tried before picking this up. Autofocus is solid and reliable for portraits and even some moderate action such as pets and kids, and the rendering is beautiful. I've had this lens for several years now and can comfortably say that if you're interested in a 135mm prime and don't truly need the first party autofocus speed or frame rate advantages, you won't regret picking this up!
Better than I expected
Very affordable for such a solid lens that performs exceptionally well.
