135mm F2.0 ED UMC overview
The Samyang 135mm F2.0 ED UMC is a 135mm f/2 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sony A-mount, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Sony E-mount and Micro Four Thirds, announced by Samyang in January 2015. 159 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as fast-moving subjects.
New, it sells for A$989 in Australia (Camera Electronic); used and refurbished copies start at A$650.
Worth comparing it with the Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art, Zeiss Batis 2.8/135 and Sony FE 135mm F1.8 GM.
