No lens is perfect, but this lens is close.
I think 135mm lenses are easy to design to get fantastic results. You can see a lot of different vendors produce 135mm at f2 which are superb, but for Sony to do this at an aperture of 1.8 is just phenomenal.
This lens could be reference quality lens based on how much it can resolve with clarity. This is close to clinical perfection, and that’s the reason it is near flawless and not flawless.
This is not a character lens, producing sharp, clear photographs with great colors at the cost of bokeh with situations with a lot of background elements. The bokeh in these cases can look a little busy.
If you want a lens that melts away backgrounds no mater what the situation, then get the Sony/Zeiss SAL 135mm 1.8 ZA lens. Of course you have to adapt it to e-Mount using the LA-EA5 adapter. The focusing can be slightly slow and noisy. The lens is also large and heavy, but the results are astonishing. This is because the lens is not flawless like the GM.
I think the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM is a great lens and with produce pictures with great resolution, clarity and sharpness. You will also get great bokeh in most situations. It focuses fast and quietly.
All this put together makes the 135mm GM a great successor to the A-Mount Sony 135 mm 1.8 ZA lens.
Highly recommended!
