He specialized in designing very small M-mount lenses, but so far most of them could be best described as character lenses with significant residual spherical aberrations. Furthermore they were not designed for the Sony E-mount filterstack, so the corners suffer quite a bit when used on these cameras.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11279\" style=\"width: 988px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11279 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SKMBT_C454e17113007540_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"988\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SKMBT_C454e17113007540_1.jpg 988w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SKMBT_C454e17113007540_1-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SKMBT_C454e17113007540_1-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SKMBT_C454e17113007540_1-800x554.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Manual \/ MTF curves<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Aporis is the first longer lens of his M-mount lineup and comes with an Apo tag and quite promising hand drawn MTF graph.

Price is around 1200$.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<h1>Build quality and Handling<\/h1>\n<p>There is a lot to talk about here, as there are not only aperture and focusing rings but also rings to adjust the correction of spherical aberration and coma individually (&#8220;manual floating elements&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>The focus ring travels ~190\u00b0 from infinity to the minimum focus distance of roughly 1.3 m. The focus ring is actually the whole front barrel (unit focus design), so aperture ring and front element also rotate when adjusting focus. Therefore taking the test shots in this review this was quite annoying, because I had to readjust focus for every shot. In the field this was barely an issue for me as I usually set aperture before focus anyway. On focusing closer the length of the lens increases by 19mm. The resistance of the focus ring is very nice.<br \/>\nThe aperture ring is clickless and turns roughly 100\u00b0 from f\/2.4 to f\/16.<\/p>\n<p>The lens also features a small screw-in type lens hood made of metal:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11258\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11258\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_hood.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics aporis 135mm 2.4 fluorit jch japancamerahunter miyazaki sadayasu review sony a7rII a7riii 42mp\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_hood.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_hood-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_hood-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">MS-Optics Aporis 135mm 2.4 with lens hood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before getting into detail about the SA and Coma correction rings let me get this out of the way first: I am not overly happy with the markings on the SA and Coma rings. They feature the same&nbsp; distance values as the focus ring and so at first I thought both should be set to the distance I want to shoot at for optimal performance. But if I set both rings to their infinity setting I can&#8217;t actually focus at infinity anymore (tested with Metabones, VM-E close focus and too short Fotodiox adapter). So I ended up doing quite a bit of testing myself, which settings work best for me. Luckily I found that I only need to use the SA ring&nbsp; to get the results that I like, but more on that in a bit.<\/p>\n<h4>Coma adjustment<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11257\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11257\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11257\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_coma.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics aporis 135mm 2.4 fluorit jch japancamerahunter miyazaki sadayasu review sony a7rII a7riii 42mp\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_coma.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_coma-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_coma-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11257\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Coma adjustment lever<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To be honest, I didn&#8217;t see a huge impact making alterations to the setting here. My recommendation: keep it at the left most position and don&#8217;t worry about it anymore.<\/p>\n<h4>Spherical Aberration (SA) adjustment<\/h4>\n<p>You can &#8220;unscrew&#8221; the front element and thereby changing the distance between first and second lens element. If you minimize the distance (turn counterclockwise) this leads to an overcorrection of the spherical aberration and to somewhat harsher bokeh, but field curvature at infinity is minimized.<br \/>\nIf you increase the distance (turn clockwise) the bokeh gets significantly smoother but the sharpness will also suffer (if you go to far). I am not sure the markings are the same on all copies of the Aporis&nbsp; (I only tried one) so I will try to be as clear as possible describing the position of my settings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11259\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11259\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11259\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_sa_2.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics aporis 135mm 2.4 fluorit jch japancamerahunter miyazaki sadayasu review sony a7rII a7riii 42mp\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_sa_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_sa_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_sa_2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My setting for infinity shooting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When I screw in the front barrel as far as possible the red dot is about a 70\u00b0 rotation away from the &#8220;1m&#8221; mark on my sample.<br \/>\nThis setting I use for stopped down infinity landscape or architecture shooting because of minimal field curvature, the harsher bokeh is not relevant here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11262\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11262\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11262\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_title_sa_1.jpg\" alt=\"ms-optics aporis 135mm 2.4 fluorit jch japancamerahunter miyazaki sadayasu review sony a7rII a7riii 42mp\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_title_sa_1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_title_sa_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/aporis_135_2.4_ms-optics_title_sa_1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My setting for everything else<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Setting it to the &#8220;1.5m&#8221; mark (about a 100\u00b0 rotation from the aforementioned setting) is what I used for most of my shots not taken at infinity.

We gained about one stop in the center and midframe and at f\/2.4 the lens does not look as soft anymore. Already at f\/4.0 most of the frame shows very good resolution figures. But, as I told you in the handling section before: setting the SA ring to the left most position results in the least field curvature, so at f\/8.0 to f\/11 the former setting gives best across frame results. The 1.5m setting on the other hand works best if there are no details in the corners anyway.<br \/>\n<em>The exposure of the f\/2.4 and f\/2.8 corner crops has been slightly lifted in post.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Compared to Canon EF 135mm 2.0 L:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nI shot the scene above with both lenses side by side. Wide open the Canon shows a little more fine details in the center, but contrast is very similar. The further you move towards the corners the better the Canon looks, it shows a very flat field and impressive performance already wide open (see my <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-canon-ef-135mm-2-0l\/\">Canon 135mm 2.0 L review<\/a>).<br \/>\nBetween f\/5.6 and f\/11 it is hard seeing any differences in the center. The Canon shows sligthly more edge acuity in the midframe, but you really need to be pixelpeeping to see the difference here. The corners of the Aporis never show the excellent resolution you can find with the Canon.<\/p>\n<p><em>close focus (1.3 m)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"osc-res-tab tabbable   osc-tabs-left\"><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"nav osc-res-nav nav-tabs osc-tabs-left-ul\" id=\"oscitas-restabs-1-review-ms-optics-aporis-135mm-2-4-fluorit-mc-84591\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-0\" data-toggle=\"tab\">f\/2.4<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-1\" data-toggle=\"tab\">f\/2.8<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#ert_pane1-2\" data-toggle=\"tab\">f\/4.0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div style=\"clear:both;width: 100%;\"><ul class=\"tab-content\" id=\"oscitas-restabcontent-1-review-ms-optics-aporis-135mm-2-4-fluorit-mc-84591\"><li class=\"tab-pane active\" id=\"ert_pane1-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11289 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.4.jpg\" alt=\"Sony A7rII with metabones Leica-M adapter and MS-Optics Aporis 135mm 2.4 bokeh loca\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.4-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane1-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11290 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.8.jpg\" alt=\"Sony A7rII with metabones Leica-M adapter and MS-Optics Aporis 135mm 2.4 bokeh loca\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_2.8-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><li class=\"tab-pane \" id=\"ert_pane1-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11291 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_4.0.jpg\" alt=\"Sony A7rII with metabones Leica-M adapter and MS-Optics Aporis 135mm 2.4 bokeh loca\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_4.0.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_4.0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/aporis_135_2.4_ms_optics_mfd_4.0-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<p>A <strong>minimum focus distance of 1.3 m is quite good<\/strong> for a fast 135mm lens.

Due to being only f\/4.0 bokeh didn&#8217;t really impress me and while the Leica showed good resolution figures the correction of loCA was a let down, as was the weight of more than 500g without adapter.<br \/>\nThose issues are most certainly solved with the Aporis: it is 1 1\/2 stops faster, very lightweight with only 360g, offers a very good loCA correction and boasts high contrast already wide open.<br \/>\nFurthermore bokeh can be adjusted to your taste from harsh to soft and even glowy. The 16 rounded aperture blades will yield nice round highlights even stopped down and the even number leads to unexpectedly okay sunstars.<\/p>\n<p>What are the downsides? Resolution wide open is not as high as you see from significantly bulkier modern lenses like the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/zeiss-batis-apo-sonnar-t-135mm-f2-8\/\">Zeiss Batis 135mm 2.8<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-samyang\/\">Samyang 135mm 2.0<\/a>. To keep the weight down the mechanical construction is rather simple with rotating front element, which is not very polarizer friendly.<\/p>\n<p>If you like this lens as much as I do really depends on what you want to shoot with it. As your &#8220;do everything&#8221; 135mm lens the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/zeiss-batis-apo-sonnar-t-135mm-f2-8\/\">Zeiss Batis 135mm 2.8<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-canon-ef-135mm-2-0l\/\">Canon EF 135mm 2.0 L<\/a> might be the better choice, featuring AF and higher resolution.<br \/>\nBut if you are looking for a fast yet compact portrait lens to supplement your <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/voigtlander-ultron-11-7-35-mm-review\/\">VM 35mm 1.7<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/voigtlander-40mm-f1-2-nokton-aspherical-rolling-review\/\">VE 40mm 1.2<\/a> this Aporis might be exactly what you are looking for. I was already looking for a lens like this for quite some time, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-canon-ef-135mm-2-0l\/\">Canon EF 135mm 2.0 L<\/a> was already too big and heavy for this application for me, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/rolling-review-zeiss-loxia-85mm-2-4\/\">Zeiss Loxia 85mm 2.4<\/a> didn&#8217;t feature the level of subject isolation I wanted to have.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this lens needs a bit of work to make fully use of it and fiddling with the SA correction ring from time to time. But if you are willing to do this the results can be quite rewarding. To give you a small impression of how much I liked it: on my last trip I also carried the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/rolling-review-zeiss-loxia-85mm-2-4\/\">Zeiss Loxia 85mm 2.4<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-olympus-180mm-2-0-om-zuiko-auto-t\/\">Olympus OM 180mm 2.0<\/a>, but this is the lens that could most often be found mounted on my camera.<\/p>\n<p><em>These are only made in small quantities.
