Comments about Canon 135mm F2.0 L USM AF Lens:

recently used lens at a wedding that required photographing with only ambient light condition. Church was darkest I've ever had to shoot in but using 1600 ISO @ 2.0, this lens out performed anything else I've ever seen! Also, when used for portraits outside, bokeh effect is simply stunning!

All the Whiz and all the bang!

Comments about Canon 135mm F2.0 L USM AF Lens:

the Canon 135mm f2.0 L USM is a fabulous lens for indoor sports. I take alot of hockey pictures and now can finally stop the indoor action with great saturation, no abberation, and sharp images. Just a little getting used to a fixed length lens, but if you are in the right area, you'll certainly have the right lens.

Focal Length limiting

Comments about Canon 135mm F2.0 L USM AF Lens:

I've only had this lens a short while but I can say positively this is the sharpest lens I've ever used and it creates fantastic background blur. The only think I find limiting is the focal length. It seems best used outdoors and great for tight potraits and not bad for a casual macro user. I give it a big thumbs up! This lens will always be with me! P.S. I got a great deal from Abes of Maine [...]

I've never seen a lens that captures such crisp details in low lighting without the use of flash, simply amazing! Its certainly the best all around lens I've ever seen.

Comments about Canon 135mm F2.0 L USM AF Lens:

This lens has always been reviewed as one of Canon's sharpest, particularly on full frame/film portraiture, but with a great ability to isolate the subject. Well, the reviews were not lying. On my 40D, it makes an excellent concert/sports action lens. But on my old EOS 3, it produces the best portrait photos that I've ever taken. The perfect combination of length and aperture. When I eventually add full frame digital to my repertoire, I'll be ready to go.
A truly professional lens.

Comments about Canon 135mm F2.0 L USM AF Lens:

This lens is used with my EOS-1D Mark II. It focuses fast and at f/4 it's a great combination for portraiture or for isolating flowers. Very sharp, crisp images. Weight balances well.
