    A Different Look5.0/5

    A Different Look This lens is where you really begin to stretch your legs with telephoto, the ability to get sharp photos from across a room is why for event photographers this lens is an ace up their sleeve. The fast aperture of f/2 means that this lens also allows you get the shutter speed needed to freeze the action of indoor sports from court side. Not to mention that at this focal length you can get some great depth of field compression when taking portraits. If you need to reach a little farther than an 85mm or are looking for a different look to your portraits, this lens is worth considering.

    Must have lens even in 2023!5.0/5

    Must have lens even in 2023! This is an awesome lens to have even in 2023. Images are sharp and gives a really nice subject separation and 3D pop! AF is blazingly fast and accurate. Sigma 135mm f/1.8 is the superior lens to this but it's more costly and a lot heavy. Sigma version is a tiny bit slower to focus. This Canon lens works beautifully with the Canon 2x iii extender after stopping it down to f/5.6. That'll give you 270mm on full frame, quite sharp too. Just wish this had weather sealing. No regrets buying this lens. Works flawlessly with my EOS R.

    Sharpest Lens ever, Best blur background, Best in Low Light5.0/5

    Sharpest Lens ever, Best blur background, Best in Low Light This is the best lens; 1) Most Sharpest Lens 2) Best bookeh (blur background) 3) Best in low light 4) Best for portraits (but have to maintain distance / challange) 5) Best headshot 6) Best Value Now I bought Canon EF 85mm 1.2L. I love this lens. I use 135mm F2L prob over a year. I am not technical I just compare results for each shot. If you are wedding photographer, if you can manage distance thing then 135mm F2L is the best. For me I dont have that much patience, in tight environment its hard to manage so I decided to try out 85mm F2L. I am happy with my decision. Although 85mm is almost more than double price. But if you are not in wedding and not in indoor pictures then go for 135mm F2L. 135mm F2L is super sharp lens. It has best bookeh. I wish, if there is 135mm F2L mark2 there. But I would say EF 85mm F1.2L is way better than 135mm F2L in all aspects. 85mm small as compare to 135mm, super sharp, good bookeh not good as 135mm though. And distance challenge is over in 85mm. Whether you buy 135mm F2L or 85mm F1.2L, both lens are quality lens and you won't be disappointed with anyone. Read full review
