The Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM is a classic portrait lens with sharp optics and an impressive aperture, but it's not optically stabilized.

Canon EF 135 mm f/2L USM

 

The Canon EF 135 mm f/2.0L USM was launched in April 1996 so dating back to an era by and large completely dominated by analogue photography. Despite the fact that 15 years passed by from its launch it is still considered to be one of the most...

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

Canon EF 135mm f/2 L USM Lens

 

It is very sharp, it is very fast, it is very well built and it is one of the least expensive L lenses Canon makes.It is the highly regarded Canon EF 135mm f/2 L USM Lens.If 135mm is the focal length you need, you will not be disappointed by the 135 L.
