I have the Sigma version, and like it has been pointed out in other video's, it doesn't auto focus as well in low light. If you want to save yourself $500, get a small video light to help you catch focus. Plus, if someone tries to rob you, the Sigma can be used as a blunt force weapon.

I had no idea I would even like a 135 prime until I picked up a vintage SMC Takumar 135 F/2.5...completely fell in love with it, been using it loads since I got it in the fall and to "Takumar" a NOD to your valiant efforts in producing top quality lenses for the time that still sing today. THAT said, after having played with a SIGNIFICANTLY LESS expensive lens for so long, it's given me the actual confidence that a modern 135 such as THIS beauty would be a viable purchase for my type of work. I'm actually finding with vintage lenses this is one of the strongest elements, outside of price. Pay a little, figure out if you like a specific focal length and evolve your modern purchases from there. Great video as always Jason, stoked you got to go out there mate.
