Work in low light and capture images with exceptional "bokeh" with the Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC Lens for Nikon Ffrom Samyang, available here with an AE chip for Nikon F mount full frame and APS-C cameras. This all-manual telephoto prime offers a flattering perspective well-suited to portraits and other sensitive subject matter, and the fast f/2.0 maximum aperture helps ensure the image will be bright and have an extremely shallow depth-of-field. Also, this lens features one extra-low dispersion element to reduce the impact of chromatic aberrations in the final image as well as an Ultra Multi-Coating to reduce flare and ghosting.

A large manual focus ring as well as a physical aperture ring are available on the lens barrel for making smooth, deliberate adjustments. The AE chip built-into this model enables focus confirmation as well as the use of Auto/P/A/S/M shooting modes due to the transmission of lens data to the camera. Also, this lens has a minimum focus distance of 2.6' and a front filter thread diameter of 77mm. Assisting with smooth, pleasing out-of-focus elements is a circular 9-blade diaphragm. Additionally, it comes with a removable lens hood and soft pouch.

Q: 2. Does the lens have Manual Focus Confirmation on Sony E mount ?

A: The lens does not have a focus confirmation chip. The Sony A7, A7R, A7S and A7II can be set up for focus peaking. That way you can get a confirmation on the focus with pretty much any manual lens.

Q: 3. This is a fixed (prime) lens correct?

A: Yes, this is a prime lens.

Q: 4. does TTL work with this lens during flash photography?

A: TTL will work on a flash that supports TTL when using the Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC Lens for Sony E Mount.

Q: 5. Is Samyang expected to produce a 135mm with an AE chip for canon too?

A: Samyang has not said they will, but that doesn't mean they wont.

Q: 6. Does the lens transfer the EXIF date to the camera? i.e. Would Adobe Lightroom know the photo was taken with a Sony a7 + Samyang 135/2 lens for a profile correction?

A: There is no electronic connection between the camera and lens. Exif will have exposure and camera type only. The same as if you were using any vintage lens.

Q: 7. Are the both Samyang 85mm and the 135mm will work fine with Nikon D5500?

A: Yes, both the Samyang 85mm and 135mm lenses for Nikon F mount will be compatible with the Nikon D5500.

Q: 8. Does this lens require an adapter to mount on the A7r?

A: As the Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC Lens for Sony E Mount, B&H # SA1352SE, uses the Sony E-mount on the rear of the lens, the lens would directly attach to the Sony Alpha a7R Mirrorless Digital Camera without the use of an adapter.

Q: 9. Does this lens change length when focusing or is it internal focus?

A: No, this lens does not change length when focusing; it is internal-focus. Strongly recommended lens, gives the Zeiss 135mm APO-Sonnar a run for its money.

Q: 10. Is this lens compatible with Sony A6000? If yes, Does it require any adapter to fix. ?

A: Fits right on without an adapter. I use it for my a6000 and a7RII.
