- Its a stunnerPhew! Relieved to have ponied up the $$ and received a lens in return that has definitely elevated my photography interest again. Technical reviews are all over the place regarding this lens so I won't dwell on them but bottom line it (quickly) focuses at razor sharp levels wide open and returns stunning head and body shots. I've been running around taking spontaneous outdoor people subjects and I've surprised myself how effortlessly it assists in creating amazing personal and vacation photos. No doubt you could set up a studio and go bananas if you prefer a sterile controlled environment - but the outside spontaneous natural photos are way more fun in my opinion. With the greater focal length of 135 mm I am appreciating the fact that you can really fill up the frame without being right in the face of your subject. I think it relaxes your model and makes for a very natural and comfortable photographer to subject space, especially for head shots. Beach and garden people shots are amazing when you open up the aperture and let the soft bokeh background blur do it's magic. A zoom lens is my jack of all trades workhorse in the camera bag, but for situations where I can use my legs and move in or out away from my subject this is the lens I want on my camera body. If it sounds like I'm gushing, your right - I probably am. It is hard not to. If you have a chance, maybe rent it and try it first before you buy - or find someone to show off their pics to you) and you can see for yourself that it is a stunner of a lens.
- Does it get any better than this lens?I honesty can say that this lens blows away most of my other L lens, outside of the 85 MM which is such a special piece of glass. I find that most every shot taken with the 135 is a keeper. Contrast and Color are second to none. This lens is sharper than any other lens I own and IMHO is the sharpest lens in the Canon lineup. I love this lens and use it for indoor theatrical productions and sporting events where flash is prohibited. Put on a 1.4 extender and you still have a long telephoto lens at f2.8!

- super lens for available light shootingi like this lens because of it's full control of depth of field. with wide aperture excellent for low light photography and portrats. with long focal lenght, there is no distortion in portraits.
