I definitely recommend this prime lens. It is extremely sharp and fast. I find the 135mm to be quite useful for candid shots on the street or at an event.

well made lens. Very sharp. Color seems to be less vibrant than some of my L lenses on an old 5DII. Perhaps just the limited amount of images. Pretty new to the R8 so still getting used to the auto focus. Trying out new polarizing filters and camera settings..

Versatility unmatched. I use this lens portraits, sports, fashion and advertisement. Canon has been coming out with some crazy lenses these last few years, but this is a must have for me now in my kit bag. Pro level tool.

This lens is exceptional. You won't beat it with anything else. You may get a different perspective, but you won't beat it. I bought this lens for portraits but decided to shoot XC when it arrived. Typically shoot with the 70-200 2.8 for cross country events. So many brilliant photos straight out of the camera with no editing.

I have wanted the Canon 135mm since back when the EF mount f/2 version was out. I had rented it one time, and fell in love with it. It had been on my wishlist since then. When Canon announced the RF mount, I knew it was going to be my next lens purchase. I'd have to agree with all the praise this lense has received. It has exceeded my expectations, and has proven to be everything I hoped it would be. I will be using this lens for portraits, and outdoor sporting events. I've used it in both situations already, and it performed flawlessly, and provides beautiful photos with sharp focus, smooth and creamy backgrounds, and vibrant colors. If you have been contemplating getting this lens, I would highly recommend it!

Amazingly sharp, great bokeh, full colors in the images. Needs minimal work up in post. The magic maker, just like the EF 135 was. Every shot has a distinctive look to it. Not too heavy, and the black color makes it great for street photography. I just got it and have been shooting at f/1.8 most of the time. Definitely expensive, but if you've got the $$$ it's a good way to go. I'll enjoy this lens for 20 years.
