Competition
The main competitor for the new Viltrox 135mm is the Sony FE 135mm F1.8 GM, which is priced at $2,099—over twice the cost of the Viltrox. The Sony lens has long been regarded as one of the top prime lenses for the E-mount since its debut. However, at first glance, the biggest drawback of the Viltrox appears to be its size and weight; it is significantly larger and heavier than the Sony version. Refer to the scaled comparison image below for details.
