Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 With Softfocus Lens

The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 With Softfocus Lens is a relatively small, light and inexpensive 135mm lens

This is one FUNKY lens with the soft focus activated. It creates a very 70's or 80's looking glam shot (think Alexis Carrington from Dynasty!).

Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 w/Soft Focus

Useful & versatile portrait lense. A special lense, can be used as a fast prime but also incorporates a dial for continuous soft focus effect, with engraved setting stops at zero for no soft effect; setting 1 is for half effect; and setting 2 is for...

Optional natural optical soft focus, subtle to strong; lightweight; economical; very good colour and contrast; very good prime lense sharpness at fast f2.8 max aperture, sharper at f4; superior bokeh.

Reliable autofocus but legacy style; prone to lens flare w/o shade; long minimum focus distance
