It is exclusively distributed by them in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Evolution of Samyang Optics\u2019 Best Manual Focus 135mm F2.0 Telephoto Prime Lens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Samyang MF 135mm F2.0 ED UMC is a telephoto lens that has been loved by many people for its excellent resolution since its launch in 2015. Typically, it was admired as a lens for portrait photography, but over time, the MF 135mm went beyond portraits and also became popular for shooting landscapes and astrophotography. Accordingly, Samyang Optics has decided to release an AF evolution of this lens, adding convenience for every user and genre of photography.<\/p>\n\n<p>Samyang Corporation, which recently expanded its autofocus F1.8 series line-up, has introduced the AF 135mm F1.8 FE lens, equipped with various additional functions to meet the new demands of many people who have used the existing MF 135mm F2.0 lens.<\/p>\n\n<p>The new AF 135mm F1.8 FE telephoto lens is optimised for portraits, astrophotography, landscapes and video shooting. It includes popular features, such as Focus Lock Button and Custom Switch but also Samyang\u2019s new Focus Range Limiter switch.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_159681&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"159681\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AF-135mm-F1.8-FE-side.jpg\" alt=\"Side view of the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE lens with Focus Range Limiter switch at the bottom\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Side view of the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE lens with Focus Range Limiter switch at the bottom<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<p>With Samyang\u2019s announcement of the new AF 135mm F1.8 FE, its Auto Focus F1.8 FE series now includes: 24mm, 35mm, 45mm, 75mm and 135mm focal lengths, completing the line-up, from wide-angle to telephoto.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><u>AF 135mm F1.8 FE Key Features<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Superb Resolution <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unsparing application of Samyang&#8217;s most advanced optical technologies has produced a large-aperture prime telephoto lens that delivers outstanding corner-to-corner resolution. The AF 135mm F1.8 FE delivers an 18.9\u02da angle of view for full-frame and 12.5\u02da for APS-C. It features a bright maximum aperture of F1.8, 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&#8217;s full-frame image sensor, this lens delivers superior sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Able to deliver extremely narrow depth of field, with beautiful bokeh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AF 135mm F1.8 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.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Fast and quiet autofocus performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tracking the subject accurately and quickly, the AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video. Samyang&#8217;s Linear STM (Stepping Motor) satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more accurate control of the focusing lens groups.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_159682&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"159682\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AF-135mm-F1.8-FE-top-angle.jpg\" alt=\"op angle view of the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE showing the front glass\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">A top angle view of the Samyang AF 135mm F1.8 FE showing the front glass<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n<p><strong>Enhanced operability and reliability<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Important features include customisable: Focus Hold button, Custom Switch and Focus Range Limiter.

Small accessories and other subjects can be captured with remarkable resolution and beautiful, soft background bokeh.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Modern design and weather-sealing <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AF 135mm F1.8 FE has been developed and enhanced, taking into consideration not only the design features but also the user&#8217;s shooting environment.
