- EXCELLENT OPTICAL QUALITYTHIS LENSE TAKES THE MOST ELEGANT PORTRAITS IN THE WORLD,THE BLUR IS NICE ALSO.RAZOR SHARP PHOTOS EVEN AT LARGE APERTURES.THE ADJUSTABLE FOCUSING DISTANCE IS MORE FINIICKY THEN SAY THE ONE ON THE 70-200 IS.BUT IT IS EASY TO GET USED TO.GREAT FOR ACTION SHOTS ALSO.
- Dream LensI shoot wide open at F2.0 using a 5D3. I think it would be a waste of money and glass if you stop this lens down beyond F2.8. Images are very sharp at F2.0. Bokeh is creamy and pleasant. I really wish it had IS. Lack of IS means you have to have very steady hands. Having said this, in order to isolate my subject, I shoot wide open at F2. To minimize camera shake, I use Auto ISO with minimum shutter speed of 250. Shallow depth of field means you have to have proper focus exactly where you want. If you do everything right, your subject will look better in pictures than in real life. I love this lens.
- all of the rumors are true...I had read for years that this was perhaps Canon's sharpest prime. After shooting with it for several months now, I have to agree. The focal length is a little bit of an adjustment when shooting casually on a hike or in the street, especially if you are used to a 50mm or zoom, but once you get comfortable, this lens will hardly leave your camera. With a still subject, such as an arranged portrait, this lens shines. The f/2 is plenty big to work with in 95% of conditions, and the lack of IS is not big deal. I would think the focal length would be a bit funny on a crop sensor, but have not tried it yet. I opted for this in place of a 70-200, and have not thought twice about it since. With this price tag, especially with a rebate, every serious shooter should have one.
- Great LensThis is my favorite lens, its the one that stays on my camera when its in the bag. If I need my camera right away, I want this lens on it. I love people shots and this works great. The image quality is amazing, the bokeh smooth as silk. For me, I use this for head and shoulders, then pull out my 300mm f/4L for headshots. I have shot headshots with this lens as well, and you will still get great shots. I use this on a 5D Mark II. Works great for animals too. My dogs have been well photographed with this beauty.
- Canon EOS 135mm 2.0 L LensThis is the VERY BEST Canon Portrait Lens every made. Probably the best portrait lens ever made by any lens manufacturer.
