I always said the 135 was a bit too long for me for portraiture, untill i borrowed a friends and my reaction was WOW i need this lense ive had it for about 4 months now and absolutely love it wouldnt get rid of it for anything.
Just buy it you know you want it

Peace be upon you
The vendor charges my AMEX card as a purchase and then AMEX zeros out the charge and decrements my points total to cover the purchase. When I got my EF 100MM MACRO this way from J&R I had a bill from them marked paid in full
