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
