If you’re looking for one of your own, check out this great comparison video that looks at four options: Samyang AF 135mm f/1.8 FE, Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM, Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art and Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8.
Coming to you from Tom CaltonThis excellent video review compares with Samyang AF 135mm f/1.8 FE, Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM, Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Artand Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 Glass. All four of these lenses offer impressive performance and image quality, but given their quite different footprints, maximum apertures, and prices (ranging from $999 to $2,099), it’s well worth considering. Choose the right one for you. Another thing to consider with a 135mm lens is the working distance. If you’re working outside, this shouldn’t be much of a problem, but if you’re primarily working in the studio, make sure you have enough distance to handle that extra focus. Watch the video above for a full summary from Calton on each lens.
