Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Telephoto Lens

Marie S, NJ on 1/28/2017

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.
