gm 135mm f1.8
The Sony A7RIV is a full frame, 61 megapixel camera for stills and video. The Sony A7RIV weights 665g and shares the same sensor as the newer A7RV. The Sony FE 135mm f1.8 GM is known for its exceptional sharpness, fast autofocus, and beautiful bokeh, making it a favourite among portrait, wedding and event photographers, as well as those who shoot video or need a fast telephoto prime.
The Sony A7RV is a full frame, 61 megapixel camera for stills and video. In today’s portrait photography session I am using the Sony GM 135mm f1.8 lens. For this portrait photoshoot, I am using natural light and making use of different parts of our location to create a series of photos.
During this portrait photoshoot, I am comparing the Sony GM 135mm f1.8 vs Samyang AF 135mm f1.8 vs Sigma 135mm f1.8 Art DG HSM. I am using all 3 lenses on one Sony A7IV camera body to make sure we have identical settings during our tests. Watch my comparison video below to see SOOC, 1:1 views of all the photos. I share comparisons of the image quality, sharpness and bokeh. I also compare the AF performance and autofocus accuracy to see who makes the best 135mm prime for Sony cameras.
As a portrait photographer, I find it extremely helpful to try different styles of photography. Doing photography outside your comfort zone can help with your creative flow. One night, I went for a walk around Sydney with the Sony A7sIII and GM 135mm f1.8.
The 85mm, 100mm and 135mm are all popular prime lens choices when it comes to portrait photography. We are going to be putting each lens to the test during a portrait session to see the differences.
