Bought the 28 last month and 135 about an hour ago. I have a crop and FF so I have a good range of focal lengths and my slowest lens is f2. We will see how it works out. Although I already know my next will be the 100 macro.

Sorry for the photo from the phone.

Nice start. Isn't the 40mm an f/2.8 max aperture?

Sorry. I forgot the smiley face. :)
I didn't mean to rag. Just a friendly ribbing. No offense.

Oh i was laughing at myself - i honestly forget that lens is even a lens. I really just leave it on the camera and forget about it.

OK, I just checked your gear. Do you still have the 18-135? I'm pretty sure that isn't f/2, either? :) <-- Smiley face!

Yes but I don't really use it. Only for my Lee Big stopper. In terms of weddings/portraits my setup is as above.

Haha... I would rather paint the 135L in white.
I remember one time, after 4 hours under the Canarian sun, my 135L got so hot that I could barely touch it.
I put it in the bag, for fear of damaging it -?
