Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 SF user reviews

Thinking of buying this lens?

Experience of this type of product: Good, Time product owned: Less than a year, Price paid: $369
The thing that amazes me about this lens is how well it captures skin tones and still have imaculate sharpness. Dispite its focal length I find this to be one of my favorite portrait lenses (along with the 85mm f1.8, 50mm f1.8 and Tamron 28-105mm f2.8).

This lens sells for give-away-prices and I guess due to the unquestionable fame of its focal length sibling goes unappreciated. For the value and IQ I think this is Canon's best kept secret.

I have used this lens for about 6 years now and have really learned to appreciate its stong points; Ideal focal length for subject distance, bright f 2.8 gives quick focusing with no hunting, and outstanding out of focus
backgrounds. It has just the right amount of sharpness for any application.
I don't use the soft feature, not my thing.
