I find that the 70-200F4L and this compliment each other nicely... so I'm keeping both

So I have to say i had EXTREMELY high expectations for the 135L... And it surpassed even them. Thank you so much to this thread for pushing me over the edge. This is soon becoming my favorite lens.

Great pics. I love my 135L but I will soon be purchasing the 70-200 II for weddings and to also have more versatility for other events. I am just afraid that owning both will make one of them redundant, in this case the 135L. I could get the 70-200, sell the 135L to help buy the 35L and call it a day. But I don't want to sell the 135L... Oh decisions decisions.

Decisions indeed. I have a couple of friends who have both the 70-200 ISII and the 135L and decided to not sell the 135L. If you can afford to, keep it. It is an amazing piece of glass and honestly, a steal for the image quality you get. I'm sure thats not what you want to hear, but dont want you to regret your decision. :)

I just sold my 135L to a fine member of this board since I picked up the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS ver2 and I'm using the funds to buy a 35L or 24-70L

For how I shoot, the added versatility of zoom and Image Stability on the 70-200 is more critical than the "slightly" sharper images and extra stop of light on the 135L

There is just something to be said about shooting 200mm at f/2.8....at 1/30th of a second :)


...BECAUSE SEEKING VALIDATION FROM ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER IS WAY MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OPINIONS OF PAID CLIENTS.

Add hand held to the end of that and I'll be really impressed. Damn 2.8 is just too heavy for my little arms :(

There are people here who have posted shots taken at slower shutter speeds handheld and are extremely sharp. I'm convinced that the 70-200 II is worth every penny, I just don't know what to do about the 135L lol.
