Outstanding performance for portraits
Sharp as a razor, beautiful bocke fast focusing. The quality of the lens in general is flawless. I can’t fault it at all. It is quite expensive but the results justify the price in my opinion.
One observation that bothers me: The sunshade is very deep and the grips for the fingers on the lens cap are quite shallow not allowing for a secure grip. In this awkward position the cap has the nasty tendency to jump off from your fingers hitting the glass! For such a big lens cap deeper recesses for a more secure finger grip would be appreciated. It is not a fault of the lens, just a design flaw of the lens cap. I wasn’t able to find something better from a third party manufacturer so Sony maybe an optional cap wouldn’t be too much to ask.

Absolutely the best 135mm fast len I've ever used.
This lens is totally fabulous particularly, for low light work. I tried it out at a stage performance this past summer and immediately returned it to the rental shop with money in hand. I've shot at least 10 low light stage performances sine then and have not regretted paying top dollar for this glass.

Beautiful lens
This lens is sharp and has an amazing focus system. Great bokeh for portraits and prefer it over an 85mm. So far this is my first GM and it is well worth the money.

The “Sharpest” lens I own!
I am new to the Sony photography ecosystem. The FE 135mm f1.8 GM is the first of two Sony lenses I purchased. This by far is the “Sharpest” lens I’ve used in a very long time! The colors it produces are stellar! I am amazed at how I can hand hold my camera with this lens at shutter speeds as low as 1/10. The sharpness is there! I would recommend this lens to every photographer!

Good Lord, what a product!
I to took the lenses out of the box and off I went! This is what happened after a couple of hours with no Lightroom!

My new favorite lens!
This lens is perfect in so many ways. Perfect sharpness, perfect focal length, perfect bokeh. Now, I know that’s a subjective statement, but of all my lenses it’s my first choice for so many subjects. From concerts to portrait work, low light situations to indoor sports including volleyball and basketball. I just love the end results.

This is the sharpest and one of the best lenses I
This was the first GMaster prime lens I bought and I absolutely love it? The image and build quality of this lens is second to none. I am so glad I purchased this lens and it's always in my camera bag on every assignment. Low light is never a problem and the images are always outstanding.

My Favorite Lens for Portraits
This lens has overtaken my 85mm 1.4 as my favorite portrait lens. The depth of field on portraits is second to none. I used to think my 70-200 has a 135, but the difference between 2.8 and 1.8 is amazing. Love this lens, and although expensive, it's worth it.
