I don?t know what it is?there?s just this dreamy look to the EF 135mm f/2L, when compared to my 70-200mm f/2.8, even at 200mm. Plus as a prime, it?s so sharp and surprisingly light. It is way more manageable than the 70-200mm.

Don?t read reviews, just get this lens

I owns five Canon lentes and this one os the sharpest. Love it.

Sharpest Lens in my bag.

Lens & Flash.

I spent the better part of 2020 coveting my ideal "portrait" type prime lens. Originally, I was all in on the EF 85mm f/1.4L IS prime lens. However after much deliberation, I jumped ship to the EF135mm f/2L prime lens. This lens checks off all the boxes and although it does not have image stabilization, I have previously learned to shoot sharp images w/my 24-70mm f/2.8L usm lens with proper technique & settings. My new EF 135mm f/2L has not failed me and has become my "go to" lens for my growing pet (dogs & kitties) photography. This lens is incredibly sharp & the bokeh is to die for. I like that you don't have to be in the subject's face (literally) - I can keep a comfortable distance between me & my subject & achieve the desired composition. Furthermore, I find this lens quite manageable from a weight standpoint compared to my previous go to lenses - EF 24-70mm f/2.8L & 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. I am thrilled w/this acquisition as it meets my needs well.

Love It

Perfectvfornoutdoor family session. Creamy background, sharp focus

Love this lens

The title says it all on this. The sharpness is just right, the color rendition is amazing, and the contrast is incredible. Autofocus is also very fast, which is great because the combination of that and the bright aperture make it a great choice for indoor sports. I personally use it for both sports and portraits, and it does well at both. Stick it on an APS-C body, and it does well for outdoor sports as well. It looks like a slightly sharper 70-200 2.8 at 200mm. The limiter switch for long focus distances also helps with this, and the extra stop of light means higher shutter speeds to freeze action.

Straight Up Magic

Now I know why this 23 year old design is still the bokeh monster. Incredibly buttery bokeh! Amazingly sharp at f2.0. Light weight in its category. Fast focus for its age. Started to love this as soon as i took my first picture with this lens.

Bokeh God!

Previously, I was exclusively using a 50mm f/1.2L.  But it was time to finally add a second lens.  I already had been eyeing this lens for many years, so already knew of its capabilities and reputation.

I did though rent both the 70-200 f/2.8L III and the f/4L II flavor.  The former though was too heavy for my liking.  And the latter wasn't fast enough for my needs.  Thus, I purchased this 135mm f/2L.

I primarily do portrait work with speedlites, indoor sports (with shutter at least 1/250s, or outdoor work with faster shutter speeds.  Thus, the lack of image stabilization is a non-issue.

I'm currently using this lens with a 5D IV.  It works beautifully and only a tad heavier than the 50mm f/1.2.  I can easily hand-hold, and in a pinch, even hold with a single hand.

It is indeed sharper than the 50mm, even when both are at f/2.   I have not yet checked to see if it needs any AF micro adjustments.

The background blur is insane! That's a look I really enjoy.  So this pairs up nicely with the wide 50 in terms of that certain background rendering.

As shown in the attached photo, now that I plan to do more portrait work, I needed a longer lens to avoid distortion.

The vignetting doesn't affect my style of work.  But when needed, incredibly easy to remove in Lightroom.

In summary, this is an incredible lens.  Lightweight, fast and outstanding image quality.  If primes meet your needs, definitely give this lens a strong look.

Lightweight, Fast and Outstanding Image Quality

Love it! So happy to have purchased this!

Awesome!

This lens is so sharp and the bokeh is beyond amazing! It's light weight compared to some of the other lenses that come close, but this is THE lens for amazing portraits!

Bokehlicious

Excellent choice

razor sharp,  beautiful background, one of the best canon lenses.

L lense legend

Lens is sharp af! Af is like crazy fast really impressed and the extras and free software in the bundle are clutch af thanks adorama lol

Worth that bread

There is nothing to say other than I couldn't be happier with my 135mm lens. The only thing is it too long to get here.

 I couldn't be happier with my 135mm lens

It works very well, I’m happy with it so far. Pretty good purchase for me.

Good

Really great lens it is one of my favorites

Overall clarity is wonderful

I really just wanted my lens.. but then got all this little stuff. Haha it was fun!

felt like the holidays

Dream lens for so many years. Never bought it until recently. Have only ever rented it or just made do with a 70-200 2.8 or another prime. 

Very comfortable to travel with. Very light. The quality is legendary even at 2.0! I got a sharper copy than the others I have borrowed in the past! Thank you Adorama once again!

super sharp

If I could only have one prime lens, this would be it. This lens shares legendary status with the 85L for its ability to create super dreamy bokeh. Ideal for portrait use, but also sports, as it focuses super fast and accurately! It is very, very sharp, one of the sharpest lenses still. I really enjoy how compact the lens is, which makes it nice to take to sporting or other events. This refurbished lens is like-new in every way, and was a fantastic bargain!

If I Could Only Have One Prime Lens...

Sharp lens with beautiful bokeh! My favorite focal length has always been 85mm, but bought this for shooting my kids sports. It's perfect!

Great Lens

IF I could only bring one lens with me on a daily basis, this would be that one lens!  I cannot say enough about this lens, you will not be disappointed with your purchase and the beautiful photographs and portraits you will capture. Watch on You Tube Canon 135 Lord of the Red Rings

Yes! Best Lens Ever - For Sure :-

I had this lens on my "bucket list" for some time now and recently bought it used from a local photographer.  All the reviews and videos I've seen about this lens informed me that this was one of the best out there for creamy backgrounds and super sharp focus.  Boy it does not disappoint! When you shoot this thing wide open the background melts into a dreamy swirl of color that allows the subject to really pop!  I have several other Canon lenses, but when I want to isolate a subject and make the background a beautiful, creamy blur, this is the lens I reach for.  I'm so glad I purchased this lens!

Now the best lens in my kit

I bought this lens to go along with a new 5D IV.  I'm a hobbyist, not a professional, but I'm very happy with the purchase.  It seems to be completely sharp wide open.  Autofocus is fast and accurate.  I've mostly used it for portraits so far and I've been pleased with the results.  I can't really compare it to any of the L series 70-200 telephoto zoom options, except to say that this lens sits in the middle of that range, gives you an extra stop, weighs less, fits in a smaller bag and costs 1/2 as much.

A Very Nice Telephoto Prime Lens

I've been using this on the C300 mark II instead of the 70-200 f2.8L. I love how much lighter it is and the Bokeh is gorgeous. It is also super sharp!

Great Lens!

All the reviews that speak about sharpness, and bokeh, are true. Really everything I wanted in a manageable weighted lens that produces breathtaking pictures.  I went from producing mediocre soft pictures to really tack sharp beautiful pictures.  It not me, it the lens. You will NOT be disappointed.

Really everything I wanted in a manageable weighted lens that produces breathtaking pictures

I absolutely love this lens.  Amazing clarity.  I use a 70-200 f2.8 and a 24-70 f2.8 on a regular basis.  I did not think I could find one I would like any better.  This may be my new favorite lens!!  Don't hesitate to buy one.

I absolutely love this lens

I am a 50mm lens kind of photographer, I love that perspective and being up close to the people I am photographing, but decided to add this lens to my bag to increase the variety of perspectives of the images I deliver and as a lens to use during low light wedding ceremonies as alternatives to my 70-200 f/2.8 in both cases which can get quite heavy after photographing for a while.  So far I am very happy with the performance, quick focus and sharpness!

Beautiful Compression

I have often rented the 200mm F2.0 which is one of the best lenses I've ever used. This is a great alternative at a much more affordable price.
