Overview

The Minolta AF 135mm f/2.8 is a compact, lightweight lens praised for sharpness at f/2.8 and excellent color rendition. It offers smooth rendering and accurate autofocus, though it may be slow for sports. Build quality is solid with internal focus and a plastic hood, but axial chromatic aberration and flare control are weaknesses. The narrow depth of field requires careful aperture selection. It suits portrait photographers seeking a portable, affordable telephoto prime on Sony A-mount cameras.
