SLRgear Review February 23, 2009 by Andrew Alexander The Sony 135mm ƒ/1.8 ZA lens was introduced in October 2006, shortly after the debut of the Sony alpha system earlier that year.

What We Love. The Sony FE 135mm F/1.8 GM is brilliant, and it is an invaluable tool for portrait photographers. Sony's got it equipped with rugged build and weather-sealing to make it field ready as well as features like a focus range limiter switch, an aperture de-click switch, an aperture control...

Excellent image quality; Stunning bokeh; Rugged built; Fast; quiet and accurate AF; Weather resistance; Aperture control ring; Hardly any chromatic aberration

Some ghosting and flare; Pricey; No built-in stabilization

The ninth addition to Sony's premium G Master series, the FE 135mm f/1.8 GM is likely to interest many portrait, wedding, event and live performance photographers in need of a fast telephoto prime lens.

Excellent sharpness; even wide open; Top-quality build; Smooth AF performance

Very expensive next to some rivals; Cat's eye bokeh at f/1.8; Somewhat stiff focus switches

When a lens is as well-designed as this one, the purchase (or rent) decision comes down to whether or not the provided focal length is a useful addition to the kit and whether or not the price tag can be afforded.

In fact, the biggest problem of this lens seems to be its price. Over $2000 for a portrait prime is really too much; you have to be really determined to buy such a piece of equipment.

solid, weather-sealed mechanical construction,, excellent image quality in the frame centre up from the maximum relative aperture,, acceptable image qualtiy on the edge of the frame,, very good correction of longitudinal chromatic aberration,, negligible lateral chromatic aberration,, lack of...

a bit too high astigmatism,, visible vignetting on full frame.

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
