Amazon.com Product Description
The fastest 135mm telephoto lens in its class, the Canon EF 135mm f/2L lens is ideal for indoor sports photography and portraits with background blur. Although the lens offers complete automatic focusing capabilities thanks to its Ultra Sonic Motor (USM), you can still take advantage of its manual focus function even when the camera is in AF mode. The lens also offers two UD glass elements that help minimize chromatic aberrations, giving your images outstanding sharpness and color. Other details include a 3-foot close focusing distance, an 18-degree diagonal angle of view, and a 72mm filter size. The lens--which is compatible with EF 1.4x II and 2x II extenders--carries a one-year warranty.

From the Manufacturer
One of the finest lenses of its type in the world today. This magnificent telephoto lens uses two UD-glass elements to provide incredible sharpness and contrast, even wide-open. It’s perfect for outdoor portraits, but comes into its own in low-light situations. It focuses down to 3 feet (0.9m), and is fully compatible with both the EF 1.4x II and 2x II tele extenders.

Long and Fast
A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed. In this telephoto lens line-up, the focal lengths range from 135mm to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller maximum aperture.

Customer Reviews

Loved it
I absolutely adored this lense. Some of my best images came from it. I regret selling it instead of my 24-70 but live and learn.
If you are thinking about buying this lense stop now and place your order. You will not regret it.

Just do it!
Read all of great reviews of this lens and believe them. You don't know how good a photographer you are or how good your Canon camera is until you bolt this thing on. The first time you look through the viewfinder with this lens in place you will smile big time, really you will. Images are outstanding with great snap, detail, bokeh and color...if you can swing the rather silly, large price do it!

One of the 3 best lenses I own
This is the Canon L Prime that got me started buying a lot of prime lenses. I rate this equal in quality to the 85mm f/1.2 and the 50mm f/1.2. I bought this one first because it was cheaper than either of those and it got me hooked.

For many photographers, myself included, 85mm is the perfect portrait length. However, I would argue this is equally good for portraits, and is an equally special lens. Not nearly as fast as either the 85mm or the 50mm, but definitely gives that special quality of tack sharp, perfect, extra vibrant color and high contrast that they have. The three lenses complement each other very nicely.

This is consistently one of the most highly rated lenses you will find anywhere and is a perfect fixed focal, short telephoto length.

If you're leaning toward buying, just click "Add to Cart." LOL. You won't regret it.
