Review 3 of 39

Price Paid:  $899.00 from adorama

Summary:

This is a really fantastic lens.In short;My most used lens at all ,period.Its become my bread and butter!and a very good investment. Its in the same league as the famed 200 1,8...85mm 1,2 ..300 4,0 and 2,8.! the sharpness ,resolution,bokeh,distorion and true picture quality is a gem. I will sum up the reasons : Its the best clarity i ever experienced from a lens,i do NOT need to correct with photo shop ! The fastness is perfect for sports and Documentary and PJ work in general. The picture you get is TRUE PRO work comparable with german carl zeiss class,and Leica as well. The quality and FEEL is so classic like a Rolex watch and BMW,...yammi. Need i say more,that has not been sayd? GET IT. Gracias Canon,salute.

Strengths:

all i mean all.This Canon 135 mm 2,0 rules!!hey man !this one is numero UNO and absolutely worth every dime..its affordable..too.. Gracias Canon.

Weaknesses:

none-a little heavy ,but that comes with the true PRO category..were up in the super league

Similar Products Used:

100 mm 2,0 its not in the same league. many glasses from Carl Zeiss and CZJ..and leica.

Customer Service:

nope
