Offering outstanding resolution, the optical design incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements and an ultra-precision aspherical element, which suppresses both chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness, colour accuracy, and clarity. An ultra multicoating has also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare in order to achieve higher contrast when working in strong lighting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eThe lens has a linear STM autofocus motor for quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance, plus a minimum focusing distance of just 69cm to suit working with close-up subjects. Three different customized buttons for enhanced functionality include a focus hold button, a custom switch, and a focus range limiter switch. It also features an astro-focus function for astrophotography. The weather-sealed construction offers protection against dust, light rain, and snow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Samyang 135mm f\/1.8 UMC II AF Lens - Sony FE Mount\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eE-Mount Lens\/Full-Frame Format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture Range: f\/1.8 to 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Extra-Low Dispersion Elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-Precision Aspherical Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear STM AF Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomizable Control Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Focus Distance: 69cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter Thread Diameter: 82mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11-Blade Diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable Lens Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gText\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eSuperb Resolution\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnsparing application of Samyang's most advanced optical technologies has produced a large-aperture prime telephoto lens that delivers outstanding corner-to-corner resolution. The AF 135mm f\/1.8 Sony FE delivers an 18.9˚ angle of view for full-frame and 12.5˚ for APS-C. It features a bright maximum aperture of f\/1.8 throughout the entire image, as favoured by full-frame camera users. In particular, optimum resolution is achieved through the optical design of 13 elements in 11 groups (1 U-ASP, 2 HR and 3 ED). Combined with Sony's full-frame image sensor, this lens delivers superior sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eAble to Deliver Extremely Narrow Depth of Field, with Beautiful Bokeh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AF 135mm f\/1.8 Sony FE uses a large-diameter aperture to provide smooth background blur. It effectively allows separation of the subject from the background, by using a shallow depth of field. Also, it is equipped with a UA (Ultra-precision Aspherical) lens, which delivers natural and refined bokeh. Using this smooth bokeh, you can freely create images highlighting your subjects against stunning backgrounds, whether shooting portraits, close-ups or even cityscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eFast and Quiet Auto Focus Performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracking the subject accurately and quickly, the AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video.
