More info | Sep 27, 2010 17:59 | #2423 wimg wrote in post #10989043 I hope you'll like it, when compared to the other lenses you already have. Hey Wim,  100% crop  5DII + 50L / 50mm / ISO 50 / f2.0 / 1/5000 / Distance: Not sure  100% crop.  I found this to be pretty sharp for the 50L! this is the main reason why i wanted the 50L. Today, the 50L that i used underperformed! Why? I HAVE NO CLUE! Anyways, something felt wrong during the testing. You know that gut feeling when you know something is wrong with the lens and it's not you... well that happened to me today when i tested this used copy (UW) of the 50L. Here are some samples of the lens both at full image and 100% crops. 5DII + 50L / 50mm / f1.2 / ISO 50 / 1/400 / Distance: within 6 feet  100% crop  5DII + 50L / 50mm / f2.0 / iso 320 / 1/160 Distance: with 5-6 feet.  100% crop:  I feel highly discouraged by this copy of the 50L! Somehow i just find the 50 f1.4 to be sharper at similar apertures (1.4 and f2.0). Both have focusing issues and softness issues - it's weird and why do they do this to us at this FL! This is the best FL there is! (well besides from 35mm) I'll wait for the camera store to get more 50 1.2s to see if it's really what I want. If they have a sharper 1.2, then that'll be the one I'll get. Thoughts? I'm MARLON

I've had the chance, but skipped it for the 135L I used to own the 100 f/2 in the past and it is a great lens. While it's nice and sharp like it's brother the 85 f/1.8 it still is only "OK" wide open, and it shares the same issues such as CA and some fringing. Having now owned the 85 f/1.8, 100 f/2, 100 f/2.8 Macro, and now the 135 f/2L I think the Macro and the 135 are easily the best of the group. But my strong preference is the 135L. I think it's actually a sweet spot for me for longer shots, I find it to work quite well. -Abram-

More info | Sep 27, 2010 18:04 | #2426 Here's some keyboard shots to show that the lens does have some focus shift issue. For these photos, i focused on the letter H. Since i only shoot with f2.0, it only makes sense to test this lens at those apertures.  100% Crop  5DII + 50L / 50mm / ISO 320 / f2.0 / 1/500 / Distance: within 5-6 feet  100% crop  I'm MARLON

Honestly it's worth looking into - Abram Maybe i'll show my 135L some love these days. It's been in the bag... sitting and moping and crying. LOL I'm MARLON
