The lens is dust and moisture resistant like the other GM lenses. On the rear of the lens, you can see that the lens has a rubber gasket around the mount.

The latter is very welcome because the lens has great close focusing capabilities (1:4 max magnification). As well as the declickable aperture ring (1/3 stop detente), there is an AF/MF switch, two programmable buttons and a focus limiter. The lens has all features of current high end Sony lenses. In the typical portrait range, this is a bit steep, but due to the sheer width of the ring (89,5mm) and the good application, it is very precise and it always possible to find the right setting. Like all recent Sony lenses, the focus ring has linear coupling and has a 135 degree throw from the minimum focusing distance to infinity.

The focus ring is rubberized without being sticky. The polycarbonate body is sturdy, stiff and scratch resistant like we know from the other GM lenses that we have reviewed. The build quality of the Sony FE 1.8/135 GM is exceptionally good.

Number of Aperture Blades: 11 (rounded)įor $1899/1999€ you can order this lens from, (affiliate links).
