The Sony FE 135mm GM is a G Master lens for Sony Alpha full-frame cameras. Its optical design meets high G Master standards and effectively reduces telephoto lens aberrations. A floating focus system maintains high resolution from the center to the periphery. This lens has been bundled with an extensive line of accessories and includes a Multi Battery Charger Adapter Kit, Two Z-Series NP-FZ100 7.2V 2,280mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack, Vertical Grip for Sony Alpha a7R IV Camera, 64GB UHS-II Tough G-Series SD Card, and a U Flashmate Light Meter.

Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM Lens

Sony FE 135mm GM is a Sony Alpha full-frame telephoto prime G Master lens. A new optical design that adheres to demanding G Master standards places XA (extreme aspherical), Super ED (extra-low dispersion), and ED glass elements in the front group to effectively suppress all common telephoto lens aberrations, while a floating focus system works with these correction measures to ensure that the highest possible resolution is maintained from center to periphery of the image edge, throughout the lens’s focus range.

G Master Bokeh

The extremely high surface precision of the XA (extreme aspherical) elements carefully control spherical aberration, combining with an 11-blade circular aperture mechanism to produce spectacularly smooth and elegant G Master bokeh that maximizes the creative potential of the narrow depth of field available with this 135mm f/1.8 lens.

XA (Extreme Aspherical) Elements

The extremely precise XA (extreme aspherical) lens element, with better than 0.01-micron surface precision, reduces aberration and delivers the ultimate resolution throughout the entire focus and aperture ranges. Using newly developed bokeh simulation techniques, spherical aberration and unsightly onion ring bokeh can be minimized during both design and manufacture of the large-diameter XA lens element, resulting in exquisitely soft and smooth bokeh.

Super ED and ED Glass Elements

One Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element and one ED glass element are strategically positioned to compensate for axial chromatic aberration that is often a problem in large-aperture telephoto lenses, achieving impressive sharpness. In addition to improving resolution, this configuration minimizes color fringing that can occur in background and foreground bokeh.

11-Blade Circular Aperture

The 11-blade circular aperture mechanism maximizes the beauty of this large-aperture prime lens, contributing to impressive images in which the subject stands out against a smoothly defocused foreground and background, producing the large, perfectly round points of defocused light (bokeh) that is a desirable characteristic of telephoto lenses, even when stopped down by one or two stops. Soft, natural bokeh provides a beautiful backdrop for the main subject, especially in portraits.

Four XD Linear Motors for AF Speed

Four innovative XD (extreme dynamic) linear focus motors drive two precisely synchronized focus groups in a floating focus mechanism, offering outstanding speed, precision and tracking that contribute directly to fast, precise, quiet AF operation with low vibration. This also prevents aberration variations that can occur as the camera-to-subject distance changes, maintaining optimum resolution throughout the lenses focus range. The camera’s speed potential is put to full use to capture decisive moments in dynamic portraits, sports, and other action scenes with impressive speed, precision, and reliability.

Nano Anti-Reflective Coating

Sony’s original Nano Anti-Reflective Coating technology minimizes flare and ghosting, for dynamic range that achieves lifelike detail and gradation with advanced camera sensors. This precisely defined regular nano-structure allows accurate light transmission, contributing to high-quality images. The reflection suppression characteristic of the Nano Anti-Reflective Coating is superior to conventional anti-reflective coatings, providing a notable improvement in clarity, contrast, and overall image quality.

Close Focus

An advanced floating focus mechanism prevents aberration variations that can occur as the focusing distance changes, providing a minimum focus distance of just 2.3 ft and a maximum magnification of 0.25x for impressive close-up capability. High resolution and exquisite G Master bokeh are maintained even in close-up shots.

Sony Vertical Grip for Sony Alpha a7R IV Camera

This Vertical Grip from Sony makes it easy to hold the camera and operate controls with nearly the same feel as when holding the camera horizontally. Double the capacity and operation time with space for two long lasting NP-FZ100 batteries. A lightweight, compact magnesium alloy design matches the dust and moisture-resistant durability of the Alpha 7R IV.

Prolonged Continuous Operation

Space for two high-capacity NP-FZ100 batteries in the grip supply additional power that doubles the effective operating time, compared with the camera alone. This ensures excellent performance while allowing the user to continue shooting in prolonged photo sessions, with no interruption.

Controls Simulate Horizontal Shooting

The VG-C4EM provides a stable grip and easy operation, with controls that mimic the location, feel and function of those used when holding the camera horizontally. This provides the user with a consistent grip and operational feel, regardless of whether the camera is being held in a horizontal or vertical position.

Reliability Matches That of the Alpha 7R IV

Dust/moisture resistance and the solidity of the magnesium alloy are similar to those of the camera body, ensuring the reliability of the entire α system.

Auto Switch

Accommodates one or two Z-series batteries. When using two batteries, the camera automatically switches from one battery to the other, for continuous operation.

USB Charging

Batteries loaded in the vertical grip can be charged via the camera’s USB port without detaching the grip from the camera. In addition, supplementary power can be supplied via the camera’s USB port for extended use.

Comfort and Ease

The VG-C4EM is designed to almost precisely match the shape of the grip on the Alpha 7R IV to provide a more comfortable grip, while buttons, chassis material, and shape are consistent with those of the camera, providing an integrated appearance and operational feel. Tray-style battery compartment lets you easily slide in batteries.

Matching Alpha 7R IV Buttons

Recent improvements to the material and shape of the Alpha 7R IV camera body have also been applied to the VG-C4EM Vertical Grip. Specifically, the grip incorporates improvements to the design of operating buttons which enhance the button pressing sensation, enlargement and optimized location of AF-ON button, and a redesigned multi-selector. The grip is broader, providing more room for the pinky and middle finger, resulting in operational “feel” that matches that of the Alpha 7R IV camera.
