Optical Limits published its full review of the Sony 135mm f/1.8 GM, and of course, it gets high marks. Sony GM lenses are engineered with minimal compromises, and so you really can’t go wrong with one. You can read in full here or check out the excerpt below:

The Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 FE delivers an almost impeccable performance. It is razor sharp at all relevant settings, and low lateral CAs help with the quality perception. Image distortions are basically irrelevant even without auto-correction. The latter does help a bit with taming the vignetting at large apertures. The quality of bokeh… is stunning. -“Highly Recommended”

Pro

  1. Outstanding sharpness
  2. Superb build quality
  3. Fast AF

Con

  1. Expensive
