Review on πŸ“· Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Lens - High-quality Fixed Lens for Canon SLR Cameras by Michael Hughes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The red ring of portrait photography!

I wanted to wait a bit before testing the Canon EF 135mm F/2. Today is the day. After using it for a long time, I would like to share my humble opinion about this lens. The EF 135mm is the gold standard for Canon short-range telephoto lenses! maximum f/2 aperture, incredible bokeh at f/2 (especially with backlighting in low light), fast autofocus (AF), very quiet USM motor and excellent build quality, and looks better (in my opinion) without a lens hood. ). This is the highest quality photographic lens! I cannot blame the lens for the following "defects" but users should be aware of lens issues: The 135mm Prime (fixed lens) doesn't allow the user to adjust the zoom, so subjects always appear much closer than the user would like. Because of this, the lens doesn't have the versatility to go and talk about both indoor and outdoor photos. Bottom line: I can't think of any other reason to use this lens other than for portraiture of faces. or some inanimate objects. I will never sell this lens because it really is so phenomenal. However, unless I'm shooting people, the EF 135mm is difficult to use. unless they are portraits of faces or inanimate objects. I will never sell this lens because it really is so phenomenal.
