Samyang's 135mm F1.8 AF for Sony E comes across as a sharp portrait telephoto with smooth bokeh and standout value at $553. The lens is described as extremely sharp on high resolution Sony bodies, and the optical results are strong enough that it stays mounted often. Autofocus is the main tradeoff, since it trails Sony G Master speed and can feel weak for video or fast action. Firmware updates appear to improve AF, but older copies may need the separate dock. A strong fit for portraits if speed is not the priority.

  • Firmware updates can improve autofocus performance after using the required dock.

  • The lens delivers very sharp optical performance on a Sony A7R IV body.

    CrazyGoat

  • The lens can produce smooth bokeh and sharp portrait subjects in limited testing.

    WiseArm257

  • The lens is positioned as a strong value versus the Viltrox 135mm f/1.8 LAB option.

  • Autofocus speed can lag behind Sony G Master lenses on Sony E bodies.

    CrazyGoat

  • Autofocus may be unreliable for video use, requiring manual focus instead.

    SiennaScene973

  • Some copies have shown lackluster autofocus on a Sony A7R III, leading to a return.

  • Samyang QC can vary, which may affect consistency between individual lens units.

I totally agree. Great lens. Phenomenal value! It'll give you fantastic images.
I just updated the firmware to Version 5, and it DOES seem to have made a real difference. Even if it is not quite up to Sony G Master level, it is pretty good. I haven't tested it on sports or fast action, but as I mentioned, I would not be using it for such purposes anyway given the 135mm fixed focal length. Quite pleased!!
