Well, the Sony 135mm GM will not mount on any of my three camera systems, so, it is not “best” at everything.

The Sony 135mm GM was not available when I wanted a fast 135mm lens, in 2011, so, I settled for a “very good” Canon EF 135L. Had I waited for this “best” Sony 135mm GM, I would have missed some very important candid shots that are now highly-valued family treasures.

The first digital camera I bought was a Sony DSC-H20, a bridge camera, in 2009, before I felt a need for an SLR, so I actually started with a favorable impression of Sony. I soon realized that I wanted a serious DSLR, and by mid-2010 I had a need for serious macro/close-range equipment. Sony was was not ready to meet my needs, so Canon became my first interchangeable-lens camera system, and Canon still has the superior macro equipment, overall. It really is that simple. I am not anti-Sony.

By accident of availability, I learned to use Canon and Nikon DSLRs at the same time. I love specific lenses made by both Canon and Nikon, too much to quit either system. Dabbling with Leica-M is fun, too. I am, certainly, not an expert.
