Yes, it is the one Andy sold me. Why am I selling it? Well I wanted the lens for the wide aperture, and there are faster lenses. Also I sorta feel like I deprived someone here of a lens who needs it more.

$275 includes shipping, that is what I paid. I prefer check or MO and if Andy vouches for you I will send the lens out and have it cross the payment in the mail.

    I got it from Andy in great shape, it has a regular front lens cap, not Canon, but it has a Canon rear cap, it has the hood and box too.

    I did a wedding engagement shoot today and did not use it, I think I want the 85mm f/1.2. :D

    Don't you know it! I am about to pull the trigger on the 85/1.2, but I heard this sound from my coffee table...it was the 135/2 in my camera magazine calling to me... hmmm....

    the 135 f/2L is su-weeeeeeeeeeeeeet! fast af, amazing bokeh, extremely sharp even wide open at f/2 - razor sharp stopped down - relatively light but still an L build - i love the lens

    Why I did not keep the 85/1.8
    Today I got a package from B&H...it is very fast to focus, it appears to be slow focusing because the focus scale is simply enourmous. If laid out flat it'd be ten inches long!
