The delicate, nuanced "drawing" of the Planar design makes it possible to capture subtleties of light and texture that can give images extraordinary depth and presence. Graceful reproduction of skin tones and textures is a characteristic that is prized by photographers and subjects alike. Shooting comfort is another feature of this refined lens. A wide focus ring with auto clutch mechanism does not rotate during autofocus operation, and a focus hold button on the lens itself lies right under your fingertips for easy access. • Weight (approx): 640 g • Dimensions (Dia. x L): 81 x 75 mm • Max. magnification ratio: 0.13x 52 M mode, 1/160 sec., F4.0, -0.3 EV, ISO 200, Custom white balance; Photo: Chukyo Ozawa Telephoto prime Sonnar T* 135mm F1.8 ZA SAL135F18Z At 135 mm - Open 100 80 60 40 20 0 4 8 12 16 20 Distance from center of image (mm) Two ED glass elements for superior image quality Carl Zeiss T* coating effectively controls flare and glare Excellent corner-to-corner sharpness and high contrast Focus ring with auto clutch does not rotate during autofocus Focus hold button provides conveniently placed focus hold control ED glass At 135 mm - F8 100 80 60 40 20 0 4 8 12 16 20 Distance from center of image (mm) F1.8 is a relatively large maximum aperture for a 135mm telephoto lens, and the consistently outstanding performance of this lens throughout its aperture range lets you take full advantage of the extra speed and brightness it provides. Whether you need the large aperture to shoot in low light, to achieve suitable shutter speeds for shooting action, or for creative control of background defocusing, the SAL135F18Z will reward you with stunning resolution and contrast where it counts. In addition to portraits and landscapes with natural proportions and perspective, the 135mm focal length of this lens is often a good choice for indoor sports. 135mm is well within telephoto territory, and usually requires careful handling to avoid image blurring due to camera shake, but on a series bodies with SteadyShot INSIDE™ image stabilization you'll find it easier than ever to capture crisp images when shooting hand held. • Weight (approx): 995 g • Dimensions (Dia. x L): 88 x 114.5 mm • Max. magnification ratio: 0.25x 53
