Rated 5 out of 5

Fantastic prime lens

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.

Sharp, LOOOONG, too long, but I need a long lens

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 at its best

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.

Brilliant Lens

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.

My Dream Lens

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!

No other lens matches the unique qualities of this

Magic Maker

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.

The 135mm 1.8 is an amazing prime lens! I'm very happy that I purchased this, and it is a versatile focal length that works great for portraits, wildlife, and even products!

You can elevate your photography to new heights with the RF 135mm F1.8 L IS USM Lens + Essentials Kit, a medium telephoto lens designed for capturing stunning portraits and dynamic sports shots. This lens is a modern iteration of the beloved Canon EF135mm lens, boasting an innovative optical design that incorporates the latest technology to deliver superior image quality.

The RF 135mm F1.8 L IS USM Lens is equipped with 17 elements in 12 groups, including three UD glass elements and an Air Sphere Coating (ASC). This advanced construction minimizes chromatic aberration and ghosting, ensuring your images are sharp and clear. The bright f/1.8 aperture enhances your ability to shoot in low light conditions, and allows for beautiful, soft backgrounds that make your subject stand out.

This lens also features built-in Optical Image Stabilization, a first for a Canon 135mm lens. This technology provides up to 5.5 stops of optical shake correction, and up to 8 stops with Coordinated IS, enhancing your low-light shooting capabilities. Two programmable lens function buttons on the lens barrel offer instant access to a range of camera features, making this lens a versatile tool for both video and still image capture.

The RF 135mm F1.8 L IS USM Lens is designed for efficiency and ease of use, with fast focusing, image stabilization, a programmable control ring, and more. It comes with Canon's bayonet-mount Lens Hood ET-88, ensuring your lens is protected and ready for action.

The lens delivers sharp, bright images with the potential for a soft, buttery background, thanks to the f/1.8 maximum aperture. This feature allows for great control over depth of field and bokeh, making it ideal for portraits, fashion, video applications, and indoor sports.

The lens takes full advantage of the Canon RF lens mount, offering excellent image quality. It features three Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass elements for high image quality from center to corner, and Canon Super Spectra Coating ("multi-coating"), and specialized Air Sphere Coating to minimize ghosting and flare.

The RF 135mm F1.8 L IS USM lens also incorporates a control ring on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including exposure settings for ambient or flash control, white balance and more. The lens also features a circular 9-blade aperture, allowing for beautiful, soft backgrounds that make your subjects stand out. Whether you're shooting portrait images or capturing the action at a sports event, this lens delivers outstanding results every time.
