Great photo. Also love the simple border. Do you have a photoshop action for this by any chance do you.

Thanks

Thanks! I have a few lenses but I think this one is the best portrait lens ever made... I like it better than the 85L as far as portraits are concerned. I just got it yest, er, day before yesterday.

I just got this lens in the mail (used) yesterday... and I have to say the bokeh it can create is insane!!! I was stuck inside due to yucky rain all day, but here's a test shot showing off that crazy bokeh.

This morning looks a lot less cloudy, so if I'm lucky I'll get to do some more test shots outside in the sun during lunch...

Poor lighting, shot wide open, slow shutter, hand held. Odds are the image won't be sharp. Needless to say, I'm pretty happy with the results.

135L - what a lens!

Shot at 1/80 f/2 - handheld.

Playing with selective focus, 135L on the MKIII with extension tubes in the soft light after the sun had gone down, had to boost the ISO to 400 and 640. I was suprised I could hand hold it as well as I did without IS and the equivalent focal being 175mm, it's just a very wonderful lens, not too heavy, easy to use and I'm sure if I had a different focusing screen in this borrowed MKIII it'd be even more fun with the manual and auto focus as it's just that much easier to see. I've got one in my 5D and love it.

Helena - VERY nice job on #4 with the boats. I love the contrasting highlights against the subtle shadowplay detail of the docks. That diagonal soft silver gangway really sets up an interstesting angular contrast to the other horizontal lines. You obviously put a lot of thought into this composition. - Stu

Wow, thank you Stu!

It was November 5. before the snow arrived. The lighting was gorgeous that day and I took many photos in the old and new harbour, but I used the 35L for all the others.

You are very welcome Helena - it looks like you and I like to photograph a lot of similar things then. The riverfront and harbor areas make fascinating photo venues with a lot of interesting lighting possibilites.

Used a couple of different lenses to see what worked best (135L & 24-105L), both tripod mounted. Made me glad I bought the 055XPROB with it's sideways center-post and reshaped to fit the space. 5D + 135L ~ 1/4 sec ~ f/5. Hint - use F11 on keyboard to eliminate the tool bar for viewing.

Loved the 135L from the moment I tried it a month or so ago... had to have one. The focus is fast... the bokeh is great... super sharp... just a fantastic lens!!!

Thanks for the photo compliment! She is kind of a wild dog, she was beaten and neglected pretty badly by the previous owner. I just don't understand why people treat animals like that.

One of the farm cats will often curl up on top of the dog for a nap. I can't wait for that photo opportunity.

Congrats! You are going to love and hate it. Love it for all the great things that it is... super sharp... great focal length...wonderful bokeh...

You are going to hate it because it will make you look at the rest of your lenes with disgust! ROFL Well... maybe not that bad... but.... you will soon know what I mean.

Have fun and congrats again.

LOL...thanks! It already amuses me because I had to fight the urge to reach for the zoom ring. I do have a couple other L lenses, so it probably won't be quite so bad...but I kind of hope you're right about the love part.

I just got this lens last week. My first L lens. I was walking around at Universal City Walk this past weekend and took pictures of the street performer. I am quite happy with the result. I think this lens has a lot of potential, I am still learning to use it and just scratched the surface.
Also on 50D, this lens is a perfect outdoor candid lens. He never noticed being photographed until I told him and bought his CD.

Questions guys, would this lens work for indoor sports? I have been shooting indoor swim and its rough with my 28-200, it's 2.8 at 28 but 4 where I shoot and 5.6 at max zoom.

Any indoor sport pics.

Thank you.
