As happy as I am with my 85mm Batis the 135mm has always intrigued me as a telephoto to take along with my 85mm when I am traveling light for a portrait session. It's too bad TCs don't work as the 1.4x would be perfect.

ok, you've gone and done it now.
I'm on a journey to replace sone of my Sigma i lenses with some Batis lenses.
I've had the Sigma 35/2 i for a while, shot it loads and it's perfectly competent but doesn't wow me, going to replace it with the Batis 40, i shoot a lot of car shows and the close-up will come in handy.
Replacing the Sigma 24/3.5i, probably used more for infrared (will continue to use Pantax K28/3.5), again the Sigma is ok, but doesn't wow. Already picked up a like new B25 for 275.
Still have my Batis 85 from years ago.
Looking forward to having this trio

Congrats. Have the same Batis too, but you are missing the crown jewel of the line, the 135 f2.8. It was my first Batis when I got into Sony in 2018 and still is my favorite.

I use the A7RIV and A7CR 61MP APSc crop function with my Batis 135. The 26MP result is excellent, it' very convenient and you don't have to carry/mount a tc.
