Sonnar ® T* 135 mm F1.8 ZA

135 mm F1.8 ZA Sonnar T* lens

Image Feature

A magnificent medium-telephoto prime

A standout performer among medium telephoto primes, this superlative ZEISS ® Sonnar ® design satisfies the most demanding technical requirements as well as artistic needs. If you're considering a prime lens in this focal length class for portraiture, low-light photography, and more on a full-frame A-mount camera, the SAL135F18Z is simply the best.

Image Feature

Exceptional contrast and realistic rendering

Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements in a precision optical design effectively compensate for chromatic aberration, and that supports high resolving power and stunning contrast that remain consistent throughout the lens's aperture range. The deepest contrast and most delicate gradations are reproduced with natural realism.

Image Feature

Sharp subjects backed by smooth bokeh

An F1.8 maximum aperture and 9-blade circular aperture design offer broad depth of field control for razor-sharp foregrounds with smooth background bokeh when required. The large maximum aperture also makes it possible to use higher shutter speeds when shooting action in difficult lighting.

Image Feature

Get close for small subjects and details

This lens can focus as close as 0.28 in for a 0.25x magnification ratio that makes it possible to capture small subjects and details with the same outstanding sharpness and overall quality as larger subjects. You can also use the lens's smooth background bokeh capability to make tiny subjects really stand out.

Image Feature

Outstanding color and contrast

ZEISS ® lenses are renowned for their outstanding color reproduction and contrast. The ZEISS ® T* coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced color and contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty.
