Portrait Perfect
Ideal Focal Length
135mm is a unique focal length that gives a specialised look with its compression of a mid-telephoto lens. The focal length enables a different perspective when shooting a portrait and allows you to stay at a comfortable distance between you and the subject.
Amazing Background Separation
Combining the unique focal length of 135mm and f/1.8 aperture, you will be able to achieve a beautiful background blur that makes the subject pop.
Beautiful Bokeh
You can get amazing-looking bokeh throughout the apertures through the lens design and the 9 aperture blades that forms a circular diaphragm.
The bokeh has rounded edges that make the background blur even smoother.
