    AHHHmazing lens! I am a wedding photographer and I needed to purchase a lens with a longer focal length and fast aperture for low-light settings. I spent weeks comparing this lens with the 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens that Canon makes. I know they are different lenses with different capabilities, but budget-wise I could only add one to my arsenal. Being a petite female, weight is a BIG factor in what I carry for weddings. By the end of a 12 hour day, my wrists are shot. I know the 70-200 f2.8 is touted as a must-have for photographers, but after renting one, it was just too heavy for me. I did love the shots though.Enter the 135mm f2, a lighter, cheaper alternative to the 70-200. Yes, it’s not a zoom lens and doesn’t have the versatility of one, but I’m a sucker for prime lenses anyway, so that was a non-issue. I took the plunge and ordered this lens and I have not regretted it one bit.I shot my first wedding with it this weekend and was blown away by the images I saw just on…

    135 better for candids than 85 When I use my 85 for candid portraits at weddings etc., people tend to notice I’m taking a picture of them. With the 135, they don’t notice. Seems people have “radar” out to 85, but not out to 135. Just a thought for those of you trying to decide between the 85 and 135. The real decision is which to buy first – as you’ll probably have both some day. The 200 is even stealthier, but I hesitate in low light because it’s 2.8.I purchased this lens last week for $989. Today, I see it for $899. Aaarrgh! Both ship from the Amazon warehouse. Pay attention to the prices!Update: Just took a bunch of great “opening the Xmas presents pics”. Nice head/shoulder shots from across the room. Close enough to capture facial expressions. I used the 135L on a 5DII, Iso 3200, K2600. I’m beginning to feel that my 2.8 zooms aren’t so fast (aka “lens-itis”). The 2.8 zooms are great for vacations (can’t be changing lenses all the time) and outdoors. But for indoor natural…

    Check out the photos I’m uploading, right out of the box. they are 500 kilobytes I’ve been taking photos for several years and used film prior to digital. I have had the canon t3i since it came out. I found the best lens for the money is the 50mm 1.8 that you can get for under $100. I noticed most of the photos with the ‘Wow!’ effect used this lens…the 135mm f/2, so I started saving and just received it a few days ago. It was a rainy day and I went on the back porch and took photos of water droplets in mid air by adjusting shutter speed to 1/1200. I am uploading 4 photos I took within the past few days. I didn’t do anything special, just went into ‘aperture priority mode’ and played with that a bit, then into ‘shutter speed mode’ and played with that. I am looking forward to using this lens for portraits and sports and I will try to put some photos up when i get that done. I’m just amateur, but I am gonna take photos of all the kids at soccer/basketball/band and get some nice prints made and ask for $5 to $10 bucks for a package of 5 to 10 photos…
