I love this lens. I use it for weddings and events. I used to use the 70-200 f2.8. The 135 is so sharp that I can crop and still get good quality images.
It's my favorite lens. I was in a situation this weekend on assignment where I was getting photos that needed to be razor sharp from a distance. This was my go to, and it never failed. I'd go so far as to say I might want to get someone who was starting out in prime photography and have them use this lens. With the short telephoto distance, it forces the user to pick out a specific subject and not try to cram in as much as they would with a 35 or 50
I love this lens. Since three years I use it for portrait shoots, it gives beautiful pictures. Next to the 35mm, 50mm and 85mm, it's all I need for shoots.
I have owned the 135 f/2 6 years now. When I recently moved from the 5D IV to the R5, this lens was one of a few EF lenses I decided to keep. Yes, I know that there is now an RF 135 f/1.8, but honestly, this lens is so good that I have no compelling reason to fork out 2 grand to upgrade. It focuses plenty fast (maybe not as fast as the RF, but who cares?). It is very sharp to my eye and has a very nice bokeh. There is something special about the bokeh with this lens that is hard to put into words. For R5/R6 shooters - don't assume that because this lens is relatively inexpensive on the used market, that it isn't worth considering. Unless you just have money to burn, I would encourage anyone looking for a fantastic tele with reasonably shallow DOF and great bokeh, to take a serious look at this lens.
Excellent go girl. You are correct TH-camrs are not photographers and only looking to sell stuff. We shoot and make money from out gear. 135 is a gem and has the most natural compression. Let me know if you ever want to collaborate and do something I shoot a lot of indian weddings as well.
Great contribution, Vanessa, and thank you for getting us a bit closer into your approach. I have this lens, and I consider it to be my "secret weapon". I use it whenever it's even remotely appropriate. I do not shoot weddings ( though your own shots are simply gorgeous) but mostly industrial, aviation and architecture, but this lens allows me to get back a little bit, bring things into nice geometric proportion and blur the background into a creamy composition that really ennobles the subject and makes the viewer want to be there. I have more versatile lenses, but I have never had a lens I felt brought so much added value, just by using it.
Since less than a week back this is in my arsenal of lenses, and it will have to be pried off from my fingers when I'm dead. Used, and loved, 135mm back in the analog days. Extremely versatile field of view, and 2.0 is f-ing awesome for both making the subject pop and to create creamy smooth backgrounds.
Hi Vanessa, thank you for this great video, I have been researching and getting information about the Canon 135 f2 and your video made me very, very happy and confirmed that I must get this lens. Your wedding photos are beautiful!!! I like it very much, there is a good idea of composition, your shots are enlivening, bright, give a nice atmosphere, capture a nice mood, I think your clients are impressed when they see in your photos. Greetings from the Czech Republic, Mirek
Do you have any advice for depth of field control with this lens, 85 or 70-200? AF Point selection? How do you choose? I constantly struggle with maintaining sharp focus with a shallow aperture and longer lenses!
You're on point with that lens Vanessa! I owned the Nikon 135 f/2D lens, absolutely loved that lens! especially because it had defocus control so you could preview the bokeh. That is one lens that if you're a portrait photographer should be a must in your bag! I miss mine and hope to own it again someday!
Of all the lenses on all the systems I've owned (too many) this lens was my favorite. Very magical images that outshadow it's specs. I wish Nikon would make something similar for the Z mount. Great video!
Great video with tons of images. Just bought this lens yesterday. It is a lens that flies under the radar for some but it’s renditions are gorgeous. I feel less of a need to save up for the rf 85mm 1.2
Hi Vanessa! I currently own the Sigma 35mm 1.4 and the Canon 85mm 1.4. I have heard great things about the Canon 50mm 1.2, and also the Canon 135mm 2.0. Which one should I get first for weddings? My style is light, airy, soft and light backgrounds..
Ooooo hard choice. Personally I like the 135 mm 2.0 better, but I use the 50 mm 1.2 more. So my practical side would tell you to get the 50mm, and my creative side would tell you to get the 135
@@VanessaJoy Wow, good answer but I don't know if I got any wiser. I want to get the 50 but is the 85 really long enough for ceremonies etc. I have done OK in churches before with that 85 sooo...
Hi joy, you are such a active Photographer and inspiring. I have 2 questions I have 5d iii and Eos r, what do you suggest for buying ef or Rf Lens in near future. Bcuz ef can be used in 5d, rf Mount and ef m mount. Neither Rf can be used only in rf Mount. 2, tritiny lens 15-35mm, 24-70,70-200mm or 24, 50, 85,135 all prime, which combo is user friendly during wedding in your experience. Happy shooting!
Vanessa do you still use the old EF 50L or have you moved to the new RF 50L? I love the 135 F.L. I still use an old Nikkor 135 f2.8 from the early 70s on an adapter sometimes.
Hi Vanessa, I have the 70-200mm 2.8L IS II and the 85mm 1.2L for portraits, depending if I’m in a confined space or if I’m outside (where I can go with around 200mm and 2.8). Would the 135mm 2.0L bring something special? Another question is that I have the 50mm 1.4G (for my Nikon DSLR), reportedly a better lens than the Canon 50mm 1.4, and was thinking if the EF 50mm 1.2L would give me something extra? What apertures do you use with it? Btw, a German wedding photograph Dirkson seems to prefer the 24mm 1.4L II, 50mm 1.2L and 135mm 2.0L setup.
I find the difference between 2.8 and 2.0 pretty special, plus it's much much lighter to shoot with. I haven't done a comparison between the canon 50 1.4 and 1.2 so I couldn't tell you officially what the exact perks are...but personally I own the 50mm 1.2 :-)
@@VanessaJoy Thank you so much for the reply. I have the chance to trade someone the RF 24-105 to get this lens almost brand new, and I think I’m going to do it.

Thank you for this little review of this lens. I‘m also don‘t have an eye to this lens… until now. Sound very good and for me as a wildlife photographer who needs almost Tele lenses I should have an eye in this lens and for what scenarios I can use it for example rabbits 🐇 or squirrels 🐿😃
Ha good question. Definitely my 50mm. And it’s a toss up between my 24, just to make sure I have a wide enough lens, or my 135, which I use a ton. Ahhhh it’d be my 135 because if I really need a wide lens then I can use the Brenizer method :)
I sing randomly to my my kid too, and he's starting up himself, only 2.5. It's gotta be genetic. lol This is my next lens, I actually want it for automotive photography. I want it specifically for that 2.0 and the separation it will give. 135 flatters vehicles as much as people, and works a song for getting natural looking detail shots. For me it provides the viewer an opportunity to see something afar, but up close. It can capture intimate moments without the viewer feeling like they are right on top of the action. Thanks for the video
Oh my 135mm 2.0 Where were you my whole life..🥰🥰 . . Other telephoto lens does gives me the extra range but its size always makes me doubt myself carrying the weight for hours and during low light.

I've been shooting Cannon my whole life but I've also tried Pentax (film), Sony (mirrorless), and Panasonic. There are always pros and cons to different cameras and different systems. Ultimately I've stuck with Cannon because of the crazy reliability, durability, customer service, and gorgeous color science. It's just home :)
Ok, thanks You convince me… I’m going for the upcoming samyang 135 1.8 for sony. I was looking for a good excuse of the why? and I also don’t feel confortable with the huge 70-200 2.8
I would love to buy 135mm lens because i have heard that it is very sharp too. However it doesnt have IS. I have 50mm 1.2, 85mm 1.4 is, love my 85 also so confused what to sell to buy 135😐
I have the 50mm for my Nikon and the 85mm but not the 135mm. Last time I looked the Nikon version was over $1000, so I'm going to have to wait on that, lol. Yes, I do have a Tamron 70-200mm and it's a beast but I've managed so far. If memory serves me because I did test out the Nikon version the Tamron is a bit smaller, just a bit. I'll have to save my pennies for the 135mm.
@@VanessaJoy you're right it's not exactly, the Nikon has a Defocus Control, a ring to change the bokeh apparence. It also appears that it might not be as sharp as the Canon, but it depends if you have a good copy, and the DC is sometimes hard to use. But they are all beaten by the Sigma 135 f/1.8 art. I'm still a little suprised when someone says that the 135 f/2L is the least talked about lens, I have seen so much reviews and cheers about it...and I'm a Nikon user! In fact, I've heard so much more people, Canon users obviously, talking about it and saying "there's no 135 in the Nikon line" as a reason to buy Canon. But I think it's just like the Nikon 105mm, people prefer to buy a 85 f/1.8 to have an extra 1/3 stop and spend less money. Patty, I think you might consider the 105mm f/2 DC, with the same defocus control, it's a little bit afforable (and lighter) and it seems easier to find a good copy, as long as you don't absolutely want a 135mm of course.
@@bfs5113 I know Steve McCurry's afghan girl, I have a 105 f/2.5 AI-S too :) but I had also 135 f/3.5 and 135 f/2.8, but I didn't have the f/1.8...so you didn't need Canon to have 135 ;) .
haha my dad used to do it to me all the time and I'd roll my eyes. Especially if he started singing Mic "you can't always get what you want." and now it's a fav song of mine
There are reasons why people do not use or talk about a 135. It is a cumbersome limited and limiting lens [it is NOT "small" and it definitely does not "fit anywhere"]. A 85 mm is more versatile, lighter, smaller. As for flare just spit or more appropriately breathe on any lens to add flare to what is a good lens. The flare propension of the Canon 135 mm is just the result of bad lens-coating, another reason to avoid it.PS: you do not "zoom" with a 135 mm prime lens ;o)
Today I choose... numbers, I like to count, ha ha, ha! I choose the number one, ha! I also choose the number 3, ha, ha, ha! I will also choose the number five, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

The 135 f2 is not really that awesome, the price is right though, the lack of stabilisation and the 135mm means you can't really use a low shutter speed so, the ideea that this lens is a low light beast is an over statement... the 85mm f1.4 is a way better choyce even if it's more expensive...

@@VanessaJoy I sing that song at least two - three times a day!
Hahaha 😂
An excellent lens.
It is :)
Canon will make RF version of 135mm for sure. I predict that it will be F1.4 and it will cost over 3K.
Is this Jared Polin?
f/1.8 for sure
Do you use multiple cameras during your shoots?
I have my backup but other than that I'm always switching lenses back and forth - my assistant helps. :)
Vanessa Joy I noticed that in one of your earlier videos same cam different lenses the video where you did rapid posing tips
Nice job , you’re singing is cute with respect keep your daily job.
😂 yeah I’ll leave the real rock star stuff to my dad
Great 👍
Thanks for the visit
Great lens for pet photography as well
nice to know!
It’s supposed to be one of the sharpest EF lenses ever made.
No complaints here 🤷🏻♀️
For over four decades, I find even 105 is too long, hence no 135 but 85 instead.
The 85 is one of my ultimate favs
There are reasons why people do not use or talk about a 135. It is a cumbersome limited and limiting lens [it is NOT "small" and it definitely does not "fit anywhere"]. A 85 mm is more versatile, lighter, smaller. As for flare just spit or more appropriately breathe on any lens to add flare to what is a good lens. The flare propension of the Canon 135 mm is just the result of bad lens-coating, another reason to avoid it.PS: you do not "zoom" with a 135 mm prime lens ;o)
Today I choose... numbers, I like to count, ha ha, ha! I choose the number one, ha! I also choose the number 3, ha, ha, ha! I will also choose the number five, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I think I will also choose the number two point zero, ha, ha! & you Miss Joy, what do you choose today? (This comment was brought to you by Sesame Street, Count Dracula, the letter ef, & all of your favorite numbers, this comment is also dedicated to all those who publicly sing all the songs they hear in their head with no shame)
lol well at least I'm not the only one :-)
🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💕
waiting for Canon to make an RF version, priced at $2,299 🤣🤣🤣
that's the nature of RF lenses for sure... but man wouldn't that be PRETTY?!?!?!? #takemymoney
The 135 f2 is not really that awesome, the price is right though, the lack of stabilisation and the 135mm means you can't really use a low shutter speed so, the ideea that this lens is a low light beast is an over statement... the 85mm f1.4 is a way better choyce even if it's more expensive...
The 135 and 85 provide a wildly different image and use factor. Not even a comparison.
@@VanessaJoy yes but both are a mainly portrait lens...
Dan Saghin I would very much disagree with that statement
Wrong of course.
