• 1 Ultra-Precision Aspherical (U-ASP) element to suppress spherical aberration and distortion

• 2 High Refractive (HR) elements for enhanced resolution and compactness

Bright F1.8 Aperture & Dreamy Bokeh

The fast F1.8 maximum aperture offers excellent control over depth of field, enabling striking subject separation and creamy, cinematic bokeh.
An 11-blade circular diaphragm ensures beautifully rounded out-of-focus highlights — ideal for portraiture, weddings, or creative lifestyle shots where smooth background rendering is key.

The bright aperture also makes this lens perfect for low-light environments, helping you maintain fast shutter speeds without sacrificing quality.

Fast, Quiet Autofocus Performance

Equipped with a Linear STM (Stepping Motor), the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 provides fast, accurate, and whisper-quiet autofocus.
This makes it perfectly suited for portrait, event, and video shooting, where silent operation is crucial.

The lens performs seamlessly with Sony’s real-time Eye AF and subject tracking, ensuring precise focus on your subject every time — even with moving or shallow depth-of-field compositions.

Enhanced Control and Customisation

Professional usability lies at the heart of the AF 135mm F1.8 FE, offering enhanced functionality for all shooting styles:

• Focus Hold Button – Lock your focus or assign other functions such as Eye AF directly from your Sony camera menu.

• Custom Switch – Assign aperture control or other settings via the Samyang Lens Station (sold separately).

These features make the AF 135mm F1.8 FE a true hybrid lens, equally at home in both photography and filmmaking environments.
