#1

The 135mm focal length is sadly not a world favorite. Here are five solid reasons why you will always chose 135mm lens over the others for a large variety of shots.

Hi Jeff, I agree and as such, I have the Canon ef 135 f2.0 L and I do use it a lot for studio portraits and as a walk around on a 1Ds Mk3.
I would think a few lady snappers I know would take exception to the comment in the article where it talks about the weight of the 135mm, "Unlike a 70-200mm f/2.8, which can be a nightmare to work with for women photographers," who would not leave home without their 70-200mm.... Big Grin
The 135mm is a great lens and not that expensive esp. used.. e.g. http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20705204.html

Kind regards

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotiv.

I find on a crop bidy that a lot of the time 135mm is just too long, I do fund myself at 70mm a lot, which equates to 112mm.
