I would like to get a one 135 but even the sigma version is too expensive for me.

If you don't mind manual focus the Samyang lens is a great lens. Better than the Canon 135L.

The one thing about the lens that keeps me from jumping on it is the specular highlights (bokeh). I know I'm being really picky and the lens is awesome, but seeing all of the pictures posted in the Sony A9 Facebook group, that is one thing that I don't like about the lens.

Facebook Not sure if you can see this without joining the group.

I am sure the samyang AF version is in the making. So I will wait for that one. I hearing really good stuff about the samyang 85 f1.4. But I already have the Sony 85 f1.8 which is also a nice lens.
