Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Lens Review
Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.53 (out of 10)
Digital cameras have gone a long way. We even think that cameras like the Canon 1Ds Mk. II or the Nikon D2X are often more limited by their lenses than by the cameras and chips.

One of our most used lenses is the excellent Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. Yes, this lens is a top class zoom. But we should not forget that all zooms are compromises and top prime lenses still can do better. Recently we tested (and finally bought) the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM.

Review: "... this is an absolutely stellar lens, probably one of the sharpest and most distortion-free that Canon makes. It starts out very sharp at f/2.0, gets even sharper at f/2.8, and softens only slightly at f/11. At f/32, it's pretty soft, but less so than a lot of lenses at that aperture. (Suggesting that diffraction limiting is only part of the story with lens softness at tiny apertures.)"
