(MANILA PHIIPPINES) – Sony
introduced a highly anticipated addition to their acclaimed G Master™ series of
full-frame E-mount interchangeable lenses – a 135mm F1.8 full-frame,
large-aperture telephoto prime lens (model SEL135F18GM).
Equipped with Sony’s most
advanced optical technologies, the new lens is built to meet the extremely high
standards of Sony’s G Master series. The new FE 135mm F1.8 GM offers
exceptionally high resolution and exquisite bokeh, two qualities that are
signature attributes of Sony’s flagship G Master brand. The new lens combines
rapid autofocus (AF) acquisition with a lightweight, portable design and a
variety of professional functions, making it a versatile, high-performance tool
for professional portrait photographers, wedding photographers, sports
photographers and a wide variety of imaging enthusiasts.
Sony’s commitment to
growing our FE lens and E-mount lens line-up remains stronger than ever,” said Dai
Tanaka, Director, Digital Imaging Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “Our 31st native full-frame mirrorless lens,
the highly anticipated 135mm prime brings the acclaimed G Master quality to
another popular focal length for both professionals and enthusiasts to enjoy.
This brings the total number of Sony’s native Alpha™ E-mount lenses to 49. We
will continue to drive market-leading innovation in all aspects of our imaging
business, giving our customers the opportunity to capture and create like they
never have before.”
Realizing consistently
high resolution across the entire frame, even at F1.8, the FE 135mm F1.8 GM
boasts an innovative optical design that places XA (extreme aspherical) and
Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements in the front group to
effectively suppress all common telephoto lens aberrations. Additionally, the
Super ED element plus one ED glass element are strategically positioned to
compensate for axial chromatic aberration, minimize color fringing and maximize
overall resolution, ensuring outstanding image quality. For impressive clarity,
Sony’s unique Nano AR Coating is applied to reduce flare and ghosting that can
occur when shooting backlit portraits.
The new telephoto prime
lens utilizes its XA element, refined with Sony’s latest bokeh simulation
technologies during the design and manufacturing stages, to control spherical
aberration and achieve exquisite bokeh. In addition, an 11-bladed circular
aperture mechanism contributes towards achieving extremely natural and
beautiful background defocus. The exciting new model also features dual-autofocus
groups in a floating focus arrangement for improved close-up capability,
allowing a minimum focus distance of just 0.7 meters and a maximum
magnification of 0.25x.
To ensure that this
lens can keep up with fast-moving portrait or sports subjects, the FE 135mm
F1.8 GM has been equipped with a total of four of Sony’s proprietary XD linear
motors—two for each group—that achieve rapid, reliable and speedy AF tracking
and performance. There is also a control algorithm that helps to maximize control
response and ensure quiet, low-vibration AF. All of this exceptional
performance is packaged in a compact, lightweight body weighing in at
950g.

The FE 135mm F1.8 GM
includes a number of professional controls that enhance ease of operation for
both stills and movie shooting. These include an aperture ring that allows
direct, intuitive aperture control and a focus ring that features Linear
Response MF for fine, responsive manual focus control. There is also a focus
range limiter switch, two customizable focus hold buttons, and a focus-mode
switch that makes it possible to quickly select auto or manual focus to match
changing shooting conditions.
New
Circular Polarizing Filters
In addition to the new FE
135mm F1.8 GM Lens, Sony has also announced a new line-up of Circular Polarizing
Filters. The new filters, including models for lens diameters 49mm, 55mm, 62mm,
67mm, 72mm, 77mm and 82mm, preserve image quality and resolution about twice as effectively
as Sony’s existing circular PL filter line-up, making them a perfect partner
for Sony’s flagship G Master series lens. They also feature a ZEISS® T* Coating
to minimize flare and a slim filter design to prevent image vignetting and maximize
overall performance.
The FE 135mm F1.8 GM will
be available in selected Asia Pacific countries from April 2019. The product
feature video can be viewed on the Sony Camera Channel on YouTube.
