    Better than the Canon 135 L f2 but at a price5.0/5

    Better than the Canon 135 L f2 but at a price It's a heavy lens compared to the Canon version. The autofocus is faster than the Canon 135 L f2 and the images are sharper. Image quality and color are quite good on Canon version. It's expensive compared to its Canon counterpart but not a terrible value overall. I use it on a Canon R5 and R6 with excellent results. Overall it is better than the Canon 135 L f2 but heavier and more expensive. It's hard to say whether it is so much better to justify the price differential. The Canon 135 is one of the better regarded L lenses in the Canon lines. For sports the Sigma Art version will likely produce better results with its advantage in sharpness and autofocus speed.

    AMAZING LEN5.0/5

    AMAZING LEN This lens is absolutely stunning with the images that it produces. The separation and depth of field is amazing. The len built like a tank and has a nice focus ring. I'm definitely pleased with this purchase.
