Sony officially added the G-Master lens line for their famous E-full frame camera, a portrait-type lens that is called Sony FE 135mm F1.8GM and the code is SEL135F18GM. This lens has been used by Sony to make the most advanced optical technologies to produce, satisfying both image quality with very high resolution, and magic sparkling bokeh with fast focus.

This FE 135mm F1.8GM lens produces high quality images throughout the frame, even widest F1.8 aperture thanks to a separate optical structure. The XA (extreme aspherical), Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass, and ED glass elements precisely deployed in an advanced optical design effectively correct aberration, while a floating focus system works with these aberration correction measures to ensure that the highest possible resolution is maintained right out to the image edges throughout the lens’s focus range.

Also sharp image quality thanks to Sony’s exclusive Nano AR coating technology that reduces glare and ghosting effects when portraits in backlit conditions. The front glass surface is also coated with Fluorine to prevent water, dirt, fingerprints and for easy cleaning during use. With an optical structure consisting of XA, Super ED and ED lenses with 11 blades, the Sony FE 135mm F1.8 GM lens creates extremely impressive, natural, smooth bokeh … when opening the largest aperture.

The body of the lens is made of magnesium alloy for reliable hardness, to reduce weight and to ensure the accuracy of the internal lens structure.
