Rated 5 out of 5 stars by 17 users at B&H Photo Video

"This lens is razor sharp! Beyond just sharpness, the lens has amazing bokeh and I find a much better focal length than 85mm, but that comes down to personal opinion"

"The most amazing thing about this lens is not just the fact that it's the fastest 135mm lens for 35mm photography. It also focuses all the way down to 0.72m!"

"All in all an amazing lens, but unfortunately Sony keeps the price in the ionosphere."
