Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 SoftFocus

Sharp Sleeper Lens Worth the Try!! Perfect for portraits, landscapes, and street photos. Very impressed! Lots of detail and great bokeh. I agree with the other reviewers that this lens is very sharp (similar to the 135mm f/2, but in a much more portable form factor), and the soft focus feature can add an artistic effect with hit/miss experiences. Here's my advice on the soft focus, because it can actually produce really nice effects- Set it in between regular and 1 at around 1/4 or 1/2 (there's not click stop for these settings). What you'll find is that it adds an effect like the Black Pro Mist 1/8 and 1/4 filters! Pretty awesome to have it conveniently built into the lens. Definitely recommend from a 5DSR to the 5D classic. It's a winner on full frame DSLRs. Also, regarding the autofocus sound, mine only makes a swishing sound like the 200mm f/2.8L lens does. The sound is no big deal at all. Despite having a micro motor, it's not louder like the 50mm f/1.8 mark 1 or the 35mm f/2. Give it a try!Read full review

Bokeh for you! This lens delivers. It is in great shape. I bought it to take portrait images with my Canon 5D II, and it focuses accurately, then takes primary images as sharp or soft as you choose. I shoot at 2.8, and my backgrounds are blurred (the Bokeh effect). The main subject "Pops" beautifully.

Very sharp When not set for soft focus, it is one of the sharpest lenses I have. Great for portraits and a lot smaller than the 135mm f2 L lens. I use it with an adapter on a Sony 42mp Camera and it works great.
