Does anyone have photo examples using the135mmL with the 5D iv they could post. I'm on the fence with this lens and the70-200 mark ii. Also would like to know how the135 performs with the body combo. I shoot a lot with the100mm L and love it.

I don't have a 5D IV, but a 5D III. I shoot 135 and the 70-200 mkII. The both work incredibly well on 5D III. I'm not sure why the both wouldn't work better on the 5D IV, considering the better AF of that body. The 135 is lightning fast, very, very sharp, renders great color, and has very nice OOF blur.

I have both the 135 and 70-200 lenses and a 5DIV. I'd go with the 70-200 2.8 II. By far my favorite lens! Versatile with the zoom capability, super sharp, colors are amazing, IS is handy... I'd definitely choose that 70-200 over the prime 135, but that's just my opinion.

The 70-200 is a beast when it comes to weight. Certainly more versatile. What are you planning on shooting? Is there a noticeable difference between 2.0 and 2.8 regarding OOF areas (subject separation)? Yes. Maybe consider selling or swapping the 100L for the 135. I've also got the 100L.

I also shoot with both, and they're both awesome on the 5D4. The 135L has it's own unique look when shot at f/2, no doubt. The zoom is amazing in its own right, so very versatile.

Looking for a shot at135mm at 2.8 using the 70-200 mark ii and also the same shot using the 135mmL prime at f2. Same spot same subject. Anyone have the time and setup to do this for me? So one the fence between the two.

In that type of comparison, I suspect the only difference will be in the bokeh, you gain a bit more oof look with the prime but lose image stabilization and zoom flexibility. You obviously save some cash though.
