Best Pick

Sigma Art 135mm f/1.4 DG 135mm

78.7 Video/Cinema Score
135mm f/1.4 Sony E Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The f/1.4 maximum aperture and full-frame Sony E mount deliver razor-thin depth of field, backed by fast HLA autofocus. Weather sealing and a 13-blade diaphragm ensure reliable field use with exceptionally smooth bokeh, despite the substantial 2,130g build. This lens suits portrait photographers who prioritize optical rendering over portability, given its travel score of just 37/100.
