Samyang is known for creating affordable but sharp manual focus lenses and the same is true with the recent autofocus options at an affordable budget still. One such lens is the AF 135mm f/1.8 FE, which offers a lot of bokeh at a popular portrait focal length which would unseat many options and it also has amazing image quality and performance.
At a price of Four hundred and thirteen thousand naira, the 135mm f/1.8 would be yours and it’s quite affordable when compared to many other similar options and offers, plus it’s a nice alternative to the traditional 85mm lens for portraits. It comes with a range of features, including:
- Three extra-low dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations and better clarity
- Ultra multicoating for reduced flares and ghosting and deeper contrast
- Linear STM focusing system for fast and quiet autofocus
- Customizable lens switch and focus hold button
- Astro-focus mode for astrophotography
- Ultra-precision aspherical element and 11-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
- Weather-sealed design
Altogether, the 135mm f/1.8 looks like quite the nice lens with its amazing features and image quality with an affordable price range, unlike some other options. Check out Stefan Malloch’s review about the Samyang AF 135mm f/1.8 FE Lens from YouTube.
