Key Features
- EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/2 to f/32
- Two Ultra-Low Dispersion Elements
- Super Spectra Coating
Ideal for portraiture, the EF 135mm f/2L USM is a medium telephoto prime and a member of Canon's L-series of lenses. The long focal length coupled with the f/2 maximum aperture afford a great deal of control over depth of field for isolating subject matter and using selective focus, and the bright aperture also benefits shooting handheld in low-light conditions. In regard to the optical design, the lens uses two ultra-low dispersion elements to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing for high clarity, and a Super Spectra coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy. Complementing the imaging attributes, a ring-type USM is employed to deliver quick and quiet autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus control.

question
I am conflicted between purchasing this lens and the Canon EF 85 mm f1.2 USM lens? Is one superior to the other?
I have both lenses, and use them on crop & FF. I want the 85 to be my favorite, but I've had the 135 much longer - it is definitely the more normal' of the two. The 85 is a huge lens, with 1.2 only rarely needed. I use the 135 on the 1DX, 100D &, previously, extensively on the 7D. If I had to choose, it would be the 135, but I know the 85 is a unique tool.

question
Why would you use an extender for this lense (Canon ef 135 f/2L usm)?
I have never used an extender with this excellent lens - simply, because I do not like using extenders. But I am sure you could do that.

I've just purchased this Canon EF135mm F/2L USM and no regrets. However, I purchased this primarily for portraits as was my use back in the days of film, but I'm reading on this site and others that the new choice is the way-pricey 85mm L Lens. I've the Canon 5D Mark IV (Full frame), so I'm a happy clam, I'd just like THIS groups thoughts on 135 mm vs. 85 mm for most portraits ????
Hello, I bought this lens for portraits, but mainly Weddings. I had always wanted the Canon 70-200mm L series lense but found it too heavy for my weak arms. This lens give me nearly the same outcome without the heavyness. I love this lens. But I also have the Sigma 85mm. I find that I use the 85mm more often, but the 135 is also used during any portrait or wedding session. I change to different lenses during any session. I like the variety. I have the Canon 5D mk iii.

While this lens doesn't have specific dust and moisture resistent construction, Canon states that all L-lenses have a certain degree of weather protection. For those that have used this lens outside, have you found any issues? (e.g. with cold, mist, light rain?) I currently have a 5D IV with 50mm f/1.2 which is all weather-sealed.
I did not have any issues with this lens yet
