Rokinon AF 135mm f/1.8 FE 135mm
Its bright f/1.8 aperture and 135mm focal length, paired with three ED elements and an aspherical element, deliver sharp, high-contrast images with well-controlled aberrations. Weather sealing and an 11-blade diaphragm provide reliable outdoor use and smooth bokeh, while the linear STM motor ensures fast, quiet autofocus for stills and video. This lens is best for portrait and wedding photographers who demand subject isolation and robust build quality in a telephoto prime.
