I wish every lens was this good!! I just love the lightning fast & accurate focus of this lens. It focuses within a blink of an eye, instantly. Focus are dead on with my Fullframe or APS system. It's an ideal portrait lens. Bokeh is buttery smooth, best you can get from a 135mm.

f/2; fast-accurate-silent focus; (relatively) small & light; super sharp!

IS version could be nice

Priced at about US$900 (as of June 2007), the lens is not necessarily going to be the first choice for mainstream consumers, but it remains affordable for serious amateurs/prosumers and...

Canon claims this lens as the fastest 135mm prime lens and we can't find a faster one available. So what use is a fast, short telephoto lens. We take a look.

Fast and silent Autofocus; Simple operation; Good optical quality with nice OOF ‘Bokeh

Price; Unusual size filters

However, will a lens, designed to cooperate with a roll of photographic film, manage to cooperate well with digital detectors The 135 mm focal length is a portrait classic but only on full frame.

high build quality; excellent image quality in the frame centre; very good image quality on the edge of the frame; chromatic aberration amounting to zero; imperceptible distortion; splendidly corrected coma; negligible astigmatism; low vignetting on the APS-C sensor; fast; accurate and silent...

resolution on the edge of full frame at the maximum relative aperture a bit below decency level; huge vignetting on full frame by f/2.0; work against bright light could have been better
