Truly an outsanding lens December 29, 2008

Perfect as a portrait lens. coming from Nikon I thought the 85mm 1.2 would be my best grab, it sucked, get the 135mm f/2. This lens rocks. The other reviewers have said it all. Excellent, excellent glass at a modest price.
I'm taking this lens with me to the grave... December 8, 2008

I own other L lenses and love them all. But I have to say that this particular lens is BAR NONE the ultimate lens. Yes, it's a tad too long in close quarters, but O M G is this lens sharp. The photos taken with this lens always outshine my photos taken with other Canon L lenses.
I read a review once that read, "You couldn't pry this lens out of my hands with a crowbar and dynamite" or something like that. I feel the same way. When the shot really really counts this is the lens I'm putting on my camera. I treat this lens like a 3rd child (I have 2 actual children). I love it and dote on it.
Yep, it's that good.
Loved it November 4, 2008

I absolutely adored this lense. Some of my best images came from it. I regret selling it instead of my 24-70 but live and learn.
If you are thinking about buying this lense stop now and place your order. You will not regret it.
Just do it! October 28, 2008
Read all of great reviews of this lens and believe them. You don't know how good a photographer you are or how good your Canon camera is until you bolt this thing on. The first time you look through the viewfinder with this lens in place you will smile big time, really you will. Images are outstanding with great snap, detail, bokeh and color...if you can swing the rather silly, large price do it!
One of the 3 best lenses I own October 22, 2008
This is the Canon L Prime that got me started buying a lot of prime lenses. I rate this equal in quality to the 85mm f/1.2 and the 50mm f/1.2. I bought this one first because it was cheaper than either of those and it got me hooked.
For many photographers, myself included, 85mm is the perfect portrait length. However, I would argue this is equally good for portraits, and is an equally special lens. Not nearly as fast as either the 85mm or the 50mm, but definitely gives that special quality of tack sharp, perfect, extra vibrant color and high contrast that they have. The three lenses complement each other very nicely.
This is consistently one of the most highly rated lenses you will find anywhere and is a perfect fixed focal, short telephoto length.
If you're leaning toward buying, just click "Add to Cart." LOL. You won't regret it.
