For the first time ever, Sigma has built a lens that no one else dared to create — a true BOKEH King, designed to rule them all. Introducing the Sigma 135mm f/1.4 for Sony E and Leica L-mount. With a massive 105mm filter thread and weighing 1350g, this isn’t exactly a lightweight lens — yet it’s still 300g lighter while matching the size of Sigma’s other legendary 105mm prime.
Why choose this over a “classic” 85mm f/1.4?
- Delivers nearly one-third the depth of field, creating dramatically stronger bokeh.
- Makes background separation effortless for portraits.
- If needed, you can shoot from farther away, making it less intrusive.
- In crop mode, it transforms into a 200mm f/1.4, perfect for indoor concerts and even sports photography
Here is a quick size comparison with he Sigma 105mm f/1.4 and Sigma 85mm f/1.4:
Sure, it’s heavier and bulkier — but after seeing sample shots, I can confirm this lens delivers absolutely breathtaking results. And since most of the weight sits close to the mount, it’s surprisingly well-balanced and not tiring to handle over longer sessions. Stay tuned on SAR — this one’s going to be exciting!
