- The Best!If you like a superb portriat lens, this is it! The best head shots! Super for low light indoors! DOF is the best, not the best for group shots of course unless your 50 feet away! Great for wedding an kids without being in their face. Its my favorite lens from Canon.
- Simply a stunning lens!I recently got this lens and have been using it on 50Ds and 5D Mark II.... It's great on either full frame or crop sensor.
- Best lens everThis is a LEGEND !!!
- Amazing lens!This is without a doubt the best lens I've ever used. I have owned this lens for around 6 months now, and it's a dream to use. I primarily shoot portraits with it. The bokeh it produces wide open is simply amazing. Even though it's not as wide as a 1.8, 1.4, or 1.2 lens, there is something special and unique about the bokeh it creates. The value of this lens is unparalleled for an L-lens in my opinion. I'm really surprised at how cheap it is compared to other prime, L-lenes. You also get a pretty close focusing distance as well, which is nice. If you want a great portrait L-lens, then this should be at the top of your list. The bang for your buck is terrific.
- Amazed By Its BokehI've read so many reviews how sharp this lens is but I wasn't too impressed with its sharpness. I have other lenses that are as sharp as this lens is. (Don't get me wrong. It is still pretty sharp from f2. Or another thought would be this is as sharp as any lens gets.) I rather amazed by nice creamy bokeh, which makes this lens a definitely great portrait lens. This generation of digital convenience cries out for IS and just like cell phones, we hardly remember how we live without them. Even though I admit that it's hard not to shoot blurry photo under 1/100 shutter speed without any support, I still love the simplicity of this lens. I believe focus speed depends on which camera you use. In my opinion with 5D Mk II it feels slower especially in low light. Cropped sensor 50D does much better focus job but then that's camera not lens. The results from the full-frame sensor is still astounding. I've used 70-200mm f2.8 IS L II and I cannot deny that's one of the greatest lens. Though I like the convenience of zoom and image stabilizer but I still prefer 135mm f2 L. I guess I started understanding the beauty of prime lenses.
