    Very sharp and easy to focus with Sony peaking function5.0/5

    Very sharp and easy to focus with Sony peaking function I use this lens on either my A6000 or A6500 (the latter having stabilization) and it produces clear and sharp photos. Compared to a zoom it is light years ahead. The Sony peaking function makes focusing easy and accurate.

    Sharpest5.0/5

    Sharpest It's the sharpest manual lens I ever had. Also, it has a perfect focus ring.

    Great value and very nice lens5.0/5

    Great value and very nice lens Very well built and beautiful lens! After being very satisfied with my Samyang 85mm 1.4, I wanted to give the 135mm a try and it is even nicer!!
