- The Sony 135mm F1.8 GM lens has been called the sharpest lens ever made. Evelyn Drake and Dave Paul talk about its strengths as well as what kind of photography it could be best used for, and if it is worth the premium price point.
A special thanks to Kent of Inglewood for allowing us to capture Dave's first straight razor shaving experience: www.kentofingl...

Performance as smooth as Dave’s shave and as stylish as Ev’s hat! This lens has the heritage of a Minolta 135mm I used with an SRT-101 forty years ago. Very nice.
Of all the reviews I’ve seen on this lens, i found your review is the most succinct and informative. You covered all the relevant points in a matter of fact way but with just the right amount of humor. It’s a nice review, very convincingly presented.
What a badass lens for my little a5100 lol.
That'd be amazing! 😂
Great review from the sharpest photo team on TH-cam. It looks like an amazing lens. The close focusing aspect is especially interesting. I wish Sony supported focus stacking.
um... no. Chris was SOOOO Much better than these 2. Dave is legit photog but that weird chick in the stupid hat needs to go. Jesus, she is annoying.
Great video! This lens is an absolute dream. I was blown away when I tested it for a while with how lightning fast and accurate that AF was, just wow. The close focus ability really brings so much versatility to a 135 which I never thought I would use for shooting products and indoors. I team this 135 GM with the sigma 105 1.4 + 35 1.2 art and you get a really crazy portrait/event/street kit on the A7RIII! :)
Great video I like the idea of sharp razors and sharp lenses.
Sony is galloping fast with its e-mount lenses. Canon and Nikon still have a huge advantage with the variety of their lenses but the gap is closing.
However the Canon and Nikon mirrorless cameras will have trouble to catch up Sony with their RF mount and Z mount lenses. Sony is so much forward and the variety of lenses available is an important factor for the choice of a camera.
I have to say that lately Sony have neglected to introduce many affordable e-mount lenses for amateurs. Nearly all its latest e-mount lens are oriented for the professional market.
A special lens with special results !
Great content, great concept and great hosts; a perfect combination.
3:19 Wow. 3:59 Wow. 5:29 Wow.
My next lens to buy.This will be my 1st G Master Lens.Thanks for the review😎
At the start of the video, I thought you were growing a beard, Dave. 😁 That was a nice clean shave. Nice hat, Ev. 🤓
Great job guys. I want that lens. Been waiting so long for a 135mm.
Wrong system for me currently but it will be interesting to see where these camera manufacture take their mirrorless systems!
I'm leaning towards the Zeiss 135mm f2.8 as part of my travel kit, over a 70-200 F4 zoom and the new Sony 135mm f1.8. Been fine with a 85mm as the longest lens in the current incarnation of my kit , but sometimes zooming with the feet is either not possible or intrusive in a street scene. A "real" zoom size would mean I might have to kick a prime or two from my bag. Would love the extra sharpness and low light capability of the new Sony, but not sure it would actually come into play enough.
Beautifully shot video, with some very nice images.
Thanks Nick!
I think the lens is awesome, just like you both. Regards.
Woah, great intro guys!
The Sony 135mm 1.8 GM lens is also very good for nature, landscape and close-up photography. The lens hood should have been much more rugged and there should be 1.4x and 2x teleconverters for this lens !
Where is the lens ? I've tried to order twice from B&H, and did not want to wait out the backorder . Why have the lens for sale if it is not available ?
I wish I had a use for it... it looks amazing :O
Can you use 135 as an everyday lens for flower or macro photography?
would you recommend this for sports?
Your Black themed outfits give this video a cool artsy look. Sony newer lenses are fantastic but so costly; hurts my gear acquisition syndrome.
Everyone seems to be comparing the lens to the Sigma f/135mm f/1.8 art but for me the best 135mm is the Zeiss 135mm f/2 Milvus, which for me is better than the Sigma.
Price??
@@kliaklia6391 Well just doing a quick look, I just saw that I could buy the Zeiss 135mm f/2 Milvus ZF.2 (with aperture ring) for £1.11 (including postage) more than the Sony 135mm f/1.8 G Master. So the price is in the same ball park
Nice advert!
Is lens proper if i using for a7ii ?
AWSOME
Hi! I'm still happy with my 135mm f2 Canon! hehe
But looks amazing, greetings!
@ yeah ... i'm not crazy for the change.. clients do not see the difference
Happy here with my D750 and 180mm 2.8. But the Canon 135mm and Nikon 180mm are such old designs, that it is fun to see this G Master version with modern lens and coating and autofocus technology.
is it have zoom or not
Thanks for posting. Great looking lens. All I need is for my uncle Tony to pass away and hope I am in his will. :)
I feel like it was a strange choice to put aspherical lens in a premier, large, expensive portrait lens. It's not like it's compact, why introduce cat's eye bokeh?
Straight blade bravery and Evelyn missed every nick ;) The lens looks fantastic and is one of my favorite focal lengths. It would look great on my A7R2.
nice review
At first I was like "Wow, somebody partied last night". Glad the serious case of scruffy Dave was quickly resolved.
What about 85mm 1.4 G Master.??????
It's a great lens! :) We personally prefer that focal length a bit better for portraits.
$2600 D:
Right! lolol
Wrong price, its 1800$
It's $2600 Canadian
Premium lens, premium price
Och kostet ja nur 2900€ ! aber gebraucht jetzt schon 1600€.
"called" thats why its called commercial! Funny that "sharpness" comes from lenses! why is a solid Glass well polished , sharp as well when you look through? ? happy selling tricks, my solingor 200mm was sharp already back in the days! lets name it: manual focussing ! ;-D happy days all of you!
2:08 impressive?
extra sharp... too funny! gotta go to the eye doctor to get even sharper images!
Wrong Price. Its official price is 1800$
That’s the US price. The price we quoted was in Canadian dollars.
BOKEH correct pronunciation th-cam.com/video/iqipY-wQaxc/w-d-xo.html No Bokeerrrr please!
Being non stabilized is a strange choice on an otherwise great sounding lens
IBIS tho
But ... then it would not be so sharp. I mean if you want to design a really sharp lens. You don't put image stabilization inside the lens. Tamron made the same choice with their 35 mm 1.4.
Because many newer Sony full-frame bodies have IBIS, so even though the lens doesn't have stabilization it'll be stabilized by the sensor. Sigma also didn't put stabilization in their Art prime lenses to achieve maximum sharpness possible.
@@Smoothblue90 Absolutely correct, using a floating element in a lens of this sharpness would be a compromise.
Not really since the Sony bodies have IBIS , at least the ones this high end lens is marketed for
135mm prime....total no no for me...
Fair enough. It's not for everyone. What's your "go to" focal length?
Why not? 135 length includes some of the best, most advanced lenses ever made.
And yet you took time to comment and watch....
@@shaolin95 yes because it's a good video about a good lens...whats your point?
@@TheCameraStoreTV 85mm is the longest i would use..but i love 50mm as it just looks right to me with enough of the background
