Re: 135L owners
According to my Lightroom database the 135 is my second most used lens (after the 24-105). I bought it for low light and portraits but it turns out that the property of the 135 that I want most often is it's ability to separate foreground from background by rendering the subject razor sharp while pleasantly blurring the… -
Re: 135L owners
Of course there is another 135, it's the poor man's 135 f2.8 soft focus. Using it as a regular lens, it's fairly sharp. The soft focus is kind of a strange duck, but in the right setting it may work for someone. Straight from the camera (7D) at f2.8. ISO 800 cause the sun was going down fast. The tomatoes that froze 2… -

Re: 135L owners
No need to get stuck on the idea, which didn't come from me, that the 135 is only for portraits.

Re: 135L owners
Richy, I think of the 135 f2L as the lens to use when you're doing anything which is bounded by 'portrait dimensions and intentions', and your priority is to get impact through IQ. f2 is not particularly fast for this kind of work, and you would use flash anyway for max quality with this lens. So, I wouldn't get it for… -
Re: 135L owners
Mmm... well, if there aren't any real differences between one lens and the other, the OP is asking a stupid question, and Canon is wasting on redundant products? Supposing that's not the case, what might the real differences be? I didn't say what you couldn't use the 135 for. Obviously it's not a one trick act. But no lens… -
Re: 135L owners
You're exactly right, Richy - 1/250 is pretty much my "happy place" as a ss for the 135+7d. What's weird (and why I think it's me rather than the gear) is that sometimes I can nail a shot at 1/125 or even lower, but other times I'll be at 1/160 and there's noticeable motion! I think, particularly in portrait sessions, I…
