Zeiss has added its fourth lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras.
The Zeiss Batis 135mm is a medium telephoto lens that can be used in many situations, including travel and portrait photography.
Its maximum aperture is f/2.8, which might seem slow in an era of f/1.4 lenses, but Zeiss has never shown an interest in ultra high-speed lenses.
While it’s intended for full-frame cameras, it also can be used with Sony’s APS-C E-mount bodies, where it becomes a 203mm lens.
