Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Fast f/2.0 maximum aperture produces beautiful background blur and performs well in low light
  • 135mm focal length is ideal for flattering portrait compression and subject isolation
  • Ultra Multi-Coating effectively reduces ghosting and flare for cleaner images
  • Non-rotating filter mount keeps polarizers and graduated filters properly aligned
  • Bundle includes a comprehensive accessory kit with filters, cleaning tools, and a protective pouch

👎 Cons

  • Manual focus only requires practice and patience, especially for moving subjects
  • No electronic communication with the camera body means no EXIF lens data or focus confirmation on most Nikon bodies
  • 135mm on an APS-C body yields a 202mm equivalent, which may be too tight for some portrait situations
  • Lens is heavier than comparable autofocus options due to its all-metal and glass construction
  • Included filter kit and cleaning accessories are generic third-party items rather than premium-grade
