i have been waiting a very long time for a native 135 and glad that my patience will be rewarded soon. Great vid, Miguel!
This is my go to lens for all my outside portraits. I am just blown away by the images it produces. Sharp, buttery smooth fall off, and fast fast FAST!
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks Miguel!
Stunning shots! Love it!
Great video as always - thx Miguel!
looks great...love the snow shots
Those photos are SAVAGE with that lens 🔥🔥🔥 great work MIGUEL
🔥 Awesome images and upload. Thanks 👍
This one I’m definitely buying, I’ve been using my A-Mount Sony Carl Zeiss lenses👍
Love your videos Miguel and your photography style. Thanks for reviewing the 135. I currently shoot with the a7r3 and the sigma 85 1.4 art for portraits. I’m always looking at what gear can help me improve, so thanks again.
Definitely would like to see you use this in studio!
Thank you , Amazing info
love this lens and its not just a portrait lens! is amazing for nature closeups, distant landscapes and even wildlife!
@miguel your skills and composition is adding a phenomenal enhancement to what is a very high quality lens. My friend I am a professional photographer and have seen tons of work from some great amazing artist. Your work and artistry is truly amazing. Good job my friend.
Man , your production is dope . Love the background music you had going . Would love to hear your thoughts on the 135 1.8 vs the 100 2.8 STM !
i still love my 90mm 2.8 G lens
Bro, you are on point with your shirts! Like, you’re an awesome photographer, and I love your content, but I could legit be subbed to you just because of your shirts, lol.
I just picked up my first Sony last week and I've been using a lens converter for all my Canon glass. This will for sure be the first native lens I pickup for my wedding work. Then the 24mm GM. Loving my A7RIII! I got the most ROI out of my Canon equipment before switching and I got $500 off the A7RIII!
Good stuff man 👍 I was waiting for this bad boy but went with sigma105 1.4 which has been great
I LOVE snow shoots lol i normally dont like green on my photos but that vertical photo of the male model was straight fire!
Another Great Video! Thx. How would you compare it to the Canon 135 f2? That’s was one of my favorite Canon lens, before I switched to Sony.
Illustrations are the key. I’m sold! To sell a lens to a stranger is not just blah blah blah, show him/her it’s photos. Two more things:
- speak slowly so the English As Second Language (ESL) people have enough time to absorb what you mean,
- have some notes imprinted on your illustrations.
Among all the RUclipsr expert shows, I admire yours the most. Keep up the good work!
Can you do a comparison between the 100-400 at 135mm and the 135 both at say F5.6 to see if there is any difference there?
3:00 - lol!!! Same here! Did you use any OCF, diffusion or reflectors in your shots? Phenomenal.
Hi Miguel, excellent review and beautiful pictures..
Q: what presets did you use to edit those pictures with the Sony 135 f1.8 GM?
Can you share your workflow please.
Thank You
Great video as usual. Could you please do me and the rest of the world a favour and include metric values as well for measures like weight and length. Thx
Any insights on how it compares to the 70-200 2.8 GM? Can’t decide which one seems better for each of their respective trade-offs.
It's gonna be a beast 👊
New sub. Great content...
I wish they’d make an 18-200 2.8. That would make my life 🙌
Great job on the photos .
Definitely want this lens . I have the fe 20mm f/1.8 G , fe 24 and 35 mm G Masters and the Sigma Art 65mm I series, Contemporary lens . Got them all for the Sony a7siii. I’d like to have the Sigma Art 85 f/1.4 dg dn , this Sony fe 135mm G Master and last the fe Sony 14mm f/1.8 or the 12-14 f2.8 G Master.
Like to know how it compares to the 90 2.8 that you have mentioned on several occasions.
Awesome lens.
This lens blows my mind
There's no doubt that it's sharp, almost like the 90mm, but with more revealing results. But there's something about the canon 135mm f2. Let's see if the price isn't too high. Nice pictures!
Miguel awesome worked as always, I’m contemplating between Sony 135mm GM vs 100mm 2.8. GM. Which one would u suggest?
so now i wait for your 100 STF vs 135mm studio and outdoor battle. LOL love my 100 STF never had a 135 before so i will try this. and i dont have the 85 GM.. i chose 100 over it now i chose the 135 still over 85 gm
With the new A9 firmware we don’t need the extra button press for eye-AF. Can’t wait for that. I wish I knew when in March this FM will drop. I hope the 135 Batis prices drop with this new release. I have the 85mm GM and would love the same feel with the 135mm, but I also love my 18mm Batis. Very torn right now.
When you coming to Miami? Site is not updated.
Thanks to this video! I'm gunna buy the 135mm GM and some yummy onion rings lol. For the next video can we get a Sigma 135 VS Sony 135 sharpness comparison please?
Great - I´ll buy one if i can find one.
Hey Miguel....Those shots look crispy. Will this one be replacing good'ol excalibur??
I saw your review of the Sony 90mm and at that time you said it was the sharpest lens - DXO mark agrees. How does this much newer Sony 135mm compare especially in sharpness. Thanks keep up the great work.
I knew they'd release their FE-mount equivalent of their A-mount version. Called it
Hi what lens you use for the video in 8:00
How does this compare to sony 100mm GM?
Different, entertaining, and informative. 1) subscribing just in case Noah shows up in another one of your videos LOL 2) I swear I was watching this eating Burger King in the car. This too will find a spot in my bag after two more paychecks. :). Keep up the great work!
so do you like this better than the 90mm macro?
WOW BEAUTIFUL Portrait shot...But you surely did grade it in Lightroom, without to mention?
Gimme a 35 and 50mm G master
why bother ???? Zeiss makes a brilliant 35mm and 50mm
robbyjai a bit to big and slow for me tbh
Zeiss - That’s why they won’t.
1.4 35MM GM now available equally shaarp..
great video miguel, would you make a comparison with sigma 105mm?
Thank you! I plan on doing exactly that as soon as I get my hands on it again.
The lens hood should have been much more rugged. I wish for 1.4x and 2x teleconverters for this lens !
My primary set of lenses is now Sony 24mm 1.4 GM, Sony Zeiss Sonnar 55mm 1.8 and Sony 135mm 1.8 GM, exellennt set of lenses, highly recommended ! Although I will like to see a better new version of the 55mm, a 60mm allround macro lens will be very nice !
🔥🔥🔥
I shoot Canon, but from the samples. it's fair to share that at almost $1900, it seems too close to Sony, Canon or Nikon 70-200mm 2.8 lenses, which all offer exceptional quality with greater versatility. 135mm is a fun focal length, but mine was the least used lens so I sold it. But the Canon was pleasurably light. I think the Sigma 135mm may earn a reason not to spend the wad on this G Master 135mm
That's one dramatic opening man! LOL Always appreciate the cool Dragon Ball Z T-shirts. Did you have any issues with light flaring since it is such a big lens? Do you prefer this over the Sigma 105?
Just change months ago from Nikon to Sony and im buying all my lenses. In your experience, besides the difference in mm, do you prefer the 90mm or this 135mm?
I would love to know that as well - you said that the 90mm was the sharpest lens - how does that compare in sharpness to the new 135mm ???
100 STF or 135GM...Humm if you had only one choice Miguel what would it be?
That's a tough call. Right now I'm leaning towards the 100 stf but I have a feeling the 135GM in time will take over the top spot in my kit.
@@MiguelQuilesJr lol Yeah i also have the 100 but man that 135 is looking Nice! lol Like always great work Miguel keep it up. Thanks
That is a decent sized drink!!!
Woah how do you get such amazing skin tones? I am struggling with it
I will probably do a video soon but the short answer is to try out Capture One!
I don't always watch gear videos, but when I do, its probably Miguel Quiles or Jeff Rojas.
Sony doing great
💯💯💯
I can't believe how sharp it is at 1.8!!!
That's what I was thinking too! It's crazy sharp wide open at low ISOs and the bokeh is just amazing.
Well you guys obviously haven't used the Sigma 135 1.8.... 😌 Lol No seriously I'm afraid this Sony version will dethrone my BELOVED art lens! It's looking REALLY good so far... But not for $1900 vs $1400 of the Sigma.
I have just got il. It is all that you say it is.
Sony has become just a hype machine. Announcing lenses three months before they are available and then not even coming close to meeting the demand. The 24GM from last October still isnt available. You might be lucky to get this lens by 2020.
Wish it could use an extender......
Those outside snow shots are $$
Thank you! I'm super happy with how they turned out. 🙏
Sony needs to make more budget lenses like the 85mm 1.8 Not everyone has the money to buy these expensive G Master lenses. I won't be buying the lens strictly due to its price. I can always buy the sigma version for less. not to mention the canon version which is even more budget friendly
As you said, you already have sony's zoom lenses, the zony's, the zeiss's, the sigmas, the samyangs that you can buy for less. Why does sony have to do more budget lenses?
If anything they need to do more GMs. Not everyone is cheap like you
i want that shirt :P oh and that lens lol
Please, use international system units. Thank you.
some nice images!
not a fan of the oval bokeh and its a big sell vs the Sigma 105 and 135's at 1/2 the price - i'm sure it helps you're an artisan in that respect
7:07 that dude is Sharp AF!
I love how miguel is an otaku
3 years ago??? WHAT!!?? i feel like it was last year... =P
ugh.. Great video.. guess it find my way in my bag too.. i need to start making u pay me some money for making me go buy more lens. ugh.
So creamy...Will definitely be my next
One of the those lenses where you need to smoothen the skin because it's just to sharp 😋📸
But better this way than the other ...
I saw the price Miguwl, it is just tooo Expensive, very pricey! im already ok with my 85mm and 50mm lens. 135mm is a great lens, the price NO!
Gotta leave a comment just to big up the Dragonball Z appreciation
I was going to sub then you said "bowkah"
Bokeeeeeeee
@@MiguelQuilesJr Okay I subbed now :*
Finally it’s official... thanks for the insight... still undecided on this or the 70-200 tho... oh and this NOOB is still waiting... let’s gooooooo! lol 😂
Miguel ! You got kicked out from the street ? I got banned from the Cosmopolitan of las Vegas , cause I was shooting inside my own room !! 😑
When people see big cameras they lose their minds.
That dude thumbnail put me off. Inverse clickbait lul
not that its a bad thing, but the photos are almost too sharp, seeing the pore on peoples faces doesn't actually look very nice
All that came to mind was lemon pepper wings when I seen the bokeh balls... Big fail.
Ok didn’t care for the bokeh. Looks like footballs even right behind the subject in the middle of the frame
noticed that immediately...
For that price I’d rather buy the Zeiss Batis.
Why? The Batis is f/2.8 and nowhere near as sharp.
Miguel Quiles I really have no use for 1.8. Rarely use it. And it’s about 500 usd cheaper.
It's $369 difference new and I can tell you having used both extensively the GM kills the Zeiss. I imagine that the Batis may drop another $200 or so at some point but I still wouldn't pick it over the GM. Just my 2 cents 😁
Miguel Quiles If it kills the Zeiss by that much, Zeiss will have to drop the price. Which is gonna make it more competitive. I’d rather spend less, and the Zeiss is good enough for me. If I had the money, I might buy the Sony, but the GM are out of my budget.
Thanks for the review and comments!
I totally get it. The good thing with lenses is that they usually hold their value. Catch them when they go on sale and you can't go wrong. Happy shooting! 😊✌️
I sort of miss that discussion about when that f1.8 at 135mm would fit an expression, and not. Sure, you work with Sony, and this is showing it of at f1.8, but even Steve Huff missed focus with this one. After all, you do some shots for which f1.8 makes sense, done correctly. Yet I actually prefer to get both eyes of the bride somewhat sharp, and I am no fan of flat field of view on the eyes for that kind of portraits. A technique you use, but do not comment. Pros are all aware of this? No. Just take a look at the shots of yourself in front of the camera, in which his shirt and ears are in focus, but not your face. I watch this from about 1m using a 65" 2160p screen, and focus issues and DoF is an issue, not that much in your shots, but in your video filming. Sony is in the forefront in this field, so I would like for those who know how to combat it, like you in your still shots, could please speak some more about it.
It seems too sharp as one can notice all the imperfections on the skin of the face!
Imperfections? You mean too much detail? You can smooth it out in post.
Looking at all the "sample" images that I've seen from this lens today, it makes me love even more the Canon 135/2. Not sure why Sony is struggling such a big time to drop a really nice, mature and super pleasingly drawing lenses considering the fact they have Minolta's expertise. Muddy colors are another story. Wait for Canon RF135 to see the new benchmark. Good camera bodies from Sony, poor shooting experience, zero fun factor and huge struggle with lenses character and art.
Bar the above, Miguel as always managed to deliver the best content from all the "artisans" - well done, bro.
Just a canon fan boy and yes I use sony but canon does make exceptional glass just as sony is doing they are just tools at the end of the day it's the final result matters I have never heard one person say I don't like them pictures you took them with a sony or the same for canon,nikon,Olympus,fuji,Panasonic you can't tell what was taken with what camera in a blind test by just looking at pictures
journalists??? #cmon
next time tell them mind their f'ing business.
Who? What? 😂
Just buy the sigma it's cheaper and probably better, I own it and never had a problem with it
Pricing hasn't been released yet but just for the size alone I'd pick this over the Sigma. Dslr lenses adapted for mirrorless just doesn't do much for me but if you're getting great shots with it rock it! 😁👍
just shut it ok? :))))
The GM is sharper and the focusing capability is in another league, a classic case of getting what you pay for. If you can't afford it buy something cheaper but don't make up stupid excuses.
I hope you are joking LOL
