I believe that someone referred to the 16-35, 24-70, and 70-200 IS as "the three sisters of the red stripe". Tom

Yeah, but given identical processing, lighting, composition and subject you are going to get a nicer picture from the 135 L than the 135 SF. Whether that difference is worth the money is a matter of opinion but it will be there. My POTN Gallery, Complete gear list,

Enjoy your new lenses. I'm taking pictures of everything, so go ahead and take this place away from me.

Sure, I'm no pro reviewer, but from end results with the lenses I have owned there is a notable improvement in color, contrast, CA, etc with the more expensive lenses I currently use (a couple of /f4 Ls and a couple of non L primes) compared to other supposedly decent lenses I've had. My 85 1.8 is a truly great lens and provides consistantly top results. Better than any other lens I've had that covers that range or near it. The "put it a f/8 and all problems vanish" thing just doesn't work for me. My POTN Gallery, Complete gear list,

Better than any other lens I've had that covers that range or near it. The "put it a f/8 and all problems vanish" thing just doesn't work for me. IMHO the 85/1.8 is one of the few non-L lenses that holds up to the best 'L' primes. I used to own the 85/1.2 FD version (non-AF) and it was just awsome, but it's out of my range now - I rationalise that it's too heavy etc etc but really it's just to dear! _______________

So Schmoezel left the 200mm f/1.8 out of the "trinity" and neither does it rate as an apocolyptic rider...  It's heart breaking really GEAR LIST
