Samyang has announced a new autofocus 135mm F1.8 telephoto lens designed for Sony E-mount camera systems.
The 135mm F1.8 lens is constructed of 13 elements in 11 groups, including three extra-low dispersion elements, two high-refractive index elements and one aspherical element. The lens has an 11-blade aperture diaphragm, uses an 82mm front filter thread and has a minimum focusing distance of 69cm (1.3’). On full-frame cameras, the lens offers an 18.9º angle of view, while on APS-C it offers a 12.5º angle of view.

Autofocus is driven by Samyang’s Linear STM (stepping motor) technology and the lens offers a focus hold button, a customizable button and a focus range limiter (which only works in AF mode). Samyang says the lens is weather-sealed, protecting it from ‘light rain, snow and dust.’ As for measurements, the lens comes in at 130mm (5.1") long, 94mm (3.7") in diameter and weighs 772g (1.7lbs).
