Pros: Overall yield really noteworthy: beautiful colors, good contrast and sharpness, great bokeh, compact for focal and opening. An excellent portrait lens!
Cons: The fact that it is not autofocus (but it is not even fair to say it is a defect, it is peculiarity inherent to the optics); A hair of flares and reflections in difficult light conditions.... but really difficult!
Opinion: Wonderful optics. The overall yield is truly, but truly noteworthy. Beautiful colors, excellent bokeh, excellent sharpness and contrast even at full opening. Physically and mechanically it is a pleasure to mount and use it. Very few optics can return such a "massive" feeling. Focusing on aa f 2.0, of course, is quite "delicate" as a task, especially on SLRs. Let's say that I trudge by making at least 3 shots of the same "pose" with very slight advance and retreat of the ring with respect to the point of "hypothesized correct focus". Good there is that there are no calibration problems :-) . A 135 f2, you mean, if AF really has to be adjusted to perfection being really a few cm the PDC. Being suffering from "sfocus" (:-) ) I could not but compare this 135 with the 105 1.8 AiS owned in the past and with the Nikkor 180 2.8 AiS still used by me. The bokeh effect is certainly better here than on 105 1.8: I remember that on that, in some situations, it was a little "nervous" or, in any case, not so particularly pleasant and captivating. The 135 f2 AIS plays it with the 180 2.8 AiS which compensates for the lower aperture with the longer focal length. I dare say that, between the two, perhaps the 180 still remains a pelino above, but it must be remembered that, indoors, a 135 can still be used quietly, and it is therefore more versatile optics, a 180 becomes quite complicated to use it. "Physically", then, I find the 135 much more balanced on the machine: eye, they weigh practically the same, indeed, to be precise, weighs something more even the 135 (!), but being shorter and less bulky, the machine + lens package is much more "firm" with the 135 in front than with the 180 that protrudes significantly further. The various zooms 80 200 and 70 200 2.8, then........... in this sense they are "out of the race". Negatively speaking. I find an 80 200 or a 70 200 so heavy and cumbersome that it can NEVER be preferred to these fixes (105, 135, 180): their "compactness" alone is already a full point in their favor, even before "starting the race" on performance! |
