I traded my 70-200MKII for a 135L not a long time ago. I think it can keep me from buying the 70-200mm again. I only used it for concerts and that was about 5 times in a year.

I just don't know, I'm loving the 135mm starting to be something I'm enjoying. So damn sharp even wide open.

The 135L is one of the best lens ever made, not only for sharpness but also for f/2

The 70-200 MK II is what keeps me from buying the 135 L.

Yes Eiro,, there is something special about the 135L.. The first few months of ownership, mine hardly left the camera.

Damn it. Like today this morning. I went out to do a lil tracking of this Woodpecker who I've been trying to snap for weeks now, he lives in my backyard area.I looked at my 70-200 and I'm like surely it will give me that closeup that I want,but the 135 mmmmmmmmmm creamy lol. Anyways,I didn't get my pecker that lil punk bird is a good hider at times,but I've got my blue Cardinals. ahhh I dont know I'm just loving it.

Nothing's wrong. I sold my 70-200 f/4L IS to fund the 135L and haven't looked back. I loved my 70-200L but I'm never giving up the 135L.

i really wanted a 135 but i got an 85 1.8 and i cant hand hold the darn thing...so that sort of screwed the whole 135 plan. now if the 135 had IS....how nice to dream.

Why can't you hold the 135L? What SS are you shooting at usually? Bump up the ISO and you'll eliminate the need for IS.

Ever since I got my 135L I did a lot of headshots with it, now I don't use it :cry:

Too tight for me :(

I sold mine when I got the 70-200 II... The 70-200 was sharper at 135mm wide open then the 135L was at f/2.8... But that was on my 7D... I think I would enjoy the lens a lot more on FF, so maybe one day I will try it again... The 85L satisfies my shallow dof needs for now :)
