I have the 1959 f2.5 FL version and I absolutely love this focal length. It forces you to frame differently than your ''usual'' 50 or 85mm. Even at f2.5 the background is suuuper creamy; can't imagine 1.8! Great vid!
Congratulations 🎊 i have an (iphone 14) package for you.Message above username for acknowledgment:.
I have that lens as well (i believe the same year if i recall correctly), adapted onto Sony, and also love the focal length. A year or so ago bought the Samyang f2 which is much better in terms of CA and sharpness, yet that lens from the 50's is amazingly compact with a 58mm filter thread and built in sliding lens hood.
The EF 135f2 is the greatest lens ever.
I think you mean "was" not "is"
I use 135mm 2.0L for events and it’s so creamy. I don’t mind the little imperfections that the EF has. I feel it gives the photos an artist look. The lens flares is unique when shooting on sunrise and sunset.
1.8 is not far from 2.0 so don’t see a huge advantage other then having IS now. Nowadays lens are made too perfect and having unique artifacts and imperfections is what gives character. The 135L EF is a vintage lens and will not switch over.
The RF lens I’m wanting from Canon is 14 and 20mm L 1.4 coming next year.
If it is creamy maybe you should clean it up and not smear your deserts over it next time.
A fast 135mm is one of those lenses that you can use for landscape, portrait, weddings, event, street, astro (with a drive), and some wildlife. It is frequently one of the last lenses most people purchase, but one of the most loved when they do.
Not always in the bag, but you know when to take it and nothing else will do quite the same.
the very last...just bought after all primes and zooms :D
The 70-200mm f/2.8 does everything you mentioned, but with more competence and versatility.

Contemporary "photographers" are more consumers and promoters of capitalism than actual photographers. Nowadays it's more a matter of status than photographic composition. I have a friend who bought all the RFs. But he only use the RF 85mm f/1.2. The others are kept by status.
Only ef 200mm f2 will do. Love both
Love how you have to move when composing yourself using any fix lens, But moving around finding the right composition using a 135mm is soooo much more fun then composing for any other fixed length. and when you find that right composition at 135mm its an instant million dollar shot.
I love how everyone’s reviews of this are at an event in San Diego and Pete actually has it in the field.
Congratulations 🎊 i have an (iphone 14) package for you.Message above username for acknowledgment
They’re both being used. Regardless of the location. What’s your point? lolo
@@GhosTigre What do you mean? Ones at a press event with staged subjects and Pete's is not...
One of the perks of having 5m+ subs and being a canon ambassador lol
What's the difference? They are all paid ads.
I have the EF 135m f2. I don't use it often, but when I do, it is magical! I can only imagine the 1.8 will be nothing short of phenomenal!
1.8 looks sooo good. Specially with pictures like in 5:35 ... I'm thinking of giving Canon a try for pics !
Not sure if you have the time right, it is 5:58
Congratulations 🎊 i have an (iphone 14) package for you.Message above username for acknowledgment.
It is also an extremely capable indoor sports lens for crop bodies (200mm equivalent)...paired with a 30MP crop sensor, it is even more compelling for cropping
I love the 135 focal. I see to us the 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 for events. Now I use the 28-70 f2 and 135 f2. Love the photos. Works well and I get that different look without switching by using 2 bodies.
I was yesterday checking 15-35mm RF lens and now Pete appears with this bad boy 🤤
My wallet says no but my hearts says fire!😂
Congratulations 🎊 i have an (iphone 14) package for you.Message above username for acknowledgment:
Same here, now i don’t know which one to get :))
Daaaaaaam!! The 135 ef was the first lens I used that seem to have some kind of magic in it. Had used L glass before but something about that lens just seemed to be magic. Stoked to see it in RF form!
Dude thank you for dropping videos again you're giving me inspiration again!!
The sony 135mm f1.8 is my favourite lens I use and will never be sold. I’ve captured my most beautiful shots with it!
Ok
Watched this while drinking coffee! 😅
"I used to ONLY use this lens"
Also
"I remember renting it one day."
I was at the cliff edge and saw people hanging to the chains delimiting the car park so they didnt get blown away... our car moved.. so yes, telephoto and stabilisation is really a good point to raise attention for.. excellent video.
Also I love you kept it at 1.8 for all the photos you showed. I have a 50 1.2. I know I shouldn’t but I just love keeping it at 1.2 😂
The EF 135L is probably the one L series lens I don't yet own. Keen to jump straight in to the RF version. This'll be ideal for shooting esports and video game events while close to, or on stage, to get those awesome close-ups of competitors, where the RF 85L is just not quite long enough.
Congratulations 🎊 i have an (iphone 14) package for you.Message above username for acknowledgment::
Is it better than a Sigma 105mm f1.4 tho?
Sure! What a question!
u are amazing man! Still inspiring as heck although u so big in this joint, shows allot of heart and fire, thx.
I also owned the EF 135 f/2L. It was an extraordinary lens, sharp and contrasty the images it produced just had "the look". I ended up selling it when the EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS came out with the fluorite element. I that found it performed equally well at 135mm, albeit it was at 2.8.
This RF 135 f/1.8L IS has me contemplating this lens for the RF kit.
When’s the preset pack coming Pete?

Nice one. But what about the Sennheiser Mic? Happy with it and good enough to switch to that small one from the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus?

Looks like you had better weather at the black sands beach in VIC than I did a couple of days ago. Keep up the good work!
Been waiting for this lens for the last 20 years!!!🥹

In love with the lens🤍 that shots gave me goosebumps ❤
Steve McCurry is the guy who got me interested in the 135mm range. I’m so stoked about this in an RF. Gonna compliment my R6 nicely.
Wow, I always wondered what kind of lenses Steve used. I didn't know he rocked the 135.
Love how Peter’s salt’n’peppa hair is coming through! It’s a beautiful thing, man.
Calling it now. These past two videos has been a r6 mk2 and 135mm review... But really, it's been a new Polor Pro Mattebox and a knockoff peak design clip for a backpack. Nicely done my dude

I think you should consider being a TH-camr and have your own channel. You share some good tips for strategic investments.
The 135mm was a main stay of portrait lens use in the 70s and 80s.
Those photos are amazing!
Peter!! That intro is the best, beyond epic! Love the work, keep it up!
This was legit helpful in Determining which RF lens lens to buy first as I currently have ef L glass
Oh Been waiting for this🔥🔥

I shot the last of my Kodachrome with the 135/ f2. Some serious magic in the 20x30s printed from scans. Still using it on my 1DX. Highest resolving Canon lens I have used in 50 + yrs shooting Canon lenses.
wow I love this lens!!
These views! Loving all the Iceland content. Cheers
Thanks PM. ...The EF 135/2L has always been my favourite lens in Canon line-up. However, it became really hard to recommend in recent years due to 100/2.8L Macro and the latest 70-200/2.8. This new RF lens makes up for some of those hesitations. If you love portraiture, lots of bokeh, or just like to be a little more incognito on your shoots, this new 135/1.8 looks amazing. Only negatives: much bigger than the old EF, no distance limiter on focus switch (unlike old EF lens) and so far Canon says "not compatible with Canon teleconverters" which is maybe the only real negative with this new lens. Way to go Canon!
100L macro is not as good a portrait lens, why all these praise? People imagine multipurpose lens would be more useful but more often than not, leaving it at home and pick up an 85L or 135L
When it comes to culling lenses, I’ve never understood the overlapping focal length argument. You have primes and you have zooms. They are going to overlap. That’s like saying I don’t need my 11 mm wrench because I have a crescent wrench. One is utilitarian and universal and one just does a better job at turning an 11mm bolt and it’s easier to use.
Those pics😳😍😍😍
Just picked up a mint condition used EF 135 for about 1/5 the cost of the new.RF and I love it. Sure it has no IS and I hear it's a flaring challenge but I love it so far!
I've been waiting for this lens 😭🙌🙌🙌
Got the 135/2L so many years ago, refurbished, and was an instant favorite, instant.
So loved the EF version..... Can´t wait to get my hands on the RF Glass.... So insane pic´s! love them

I am sooooo excited about getting this lens
Thanks for the video.
I have owned and used a 135mm f/2 Nikon lens and a 135mm f/2 Zeiss lens and love them both for weddings, sports, and portraits. However, I would never consider using them as my only lens.
I have the Sigma 135mm and it's the only lens I use
@@rodtronics771
Out of curiosity, what subject matter do you usually shoot with your 135mm?
My vintage 135 is one of my favorites even on apse crop

Epic photos in an epic place. I definitely want to buy a 135 BUT how good would my photos be in a church or park
woah, who knew Peter has beat box skills!
Great video - so informative
That lens looks magical and i remember using the old EF one and this coming to the RF mount is just pure love!
I shoot an EF 135mm f/2 on my GFX. 106mm with the medium format crop factor. *SOOOOOO good*
Those shots. Iceland. All gorgeous!
Trying to convince me to buy the 85mm Viltrox huh... (127 equiv at f1.8). I see you, Peter. I see you. 😉
Yes!
Fire as always! ...but please tell me, that you found the wedding couple and gave them these shots - absolutely stunning!
Dream lens ✨️ 😍
I'm not even a canon shooter, I just enjoy your videos!
The EF 135mm is my favorite and most used lens! I will absolute be preordering this!
Hyped for this lens. Amazing vid.

I’m a big fan of 135mm lenses. It gives great compression and subject separation. Perhaps, one day I’ll get the RF 135mm lens. For now I use a vintage 135mm 2.8 lens that I bought for £16 off eBay. Lol
Thanks Pete

👆👆To partake in our current investments mentorship/insights***
Still dreaming about getting one of these RF 'soup cans' tho. Always epic video! Greetings from Saskatchetoon! 🤣
Awesome 👏 Review as always 😎⚡️🤙
I would love to see Peter's take on the RF24-70 vs RF28-70
6:03 - Hey, Pete, I don't know anyone else that's using the RF system that would have this lens for me to try out, so.........whatcha say? Wanna toss one over here? 😂
I’m still using my 5D mark 3. I always wanted the 135mm f/2.0 but didn’t get it before it was discontinued. If I upgrade to mirrorless the 135mm f/1.8 will be the first lens I buy for sure!
Pete, I haven't been on TH-cam a while so I have to say..the absolute best day this week is today. With a back log of peter mckinnon videos to catch up on. (Enter coffee montage) haha 📸🤙🤙

Dang man you cranking them out!
really sound is so much better removed from camera body use a remote mic. i'm good with focus motors they've always been loud to me always had to get mic far away right. thanks mate another great vid amazing lens, amazing images
tons of grain/noise in the landscape photos you showed us here, Peter, what's happening ?
135 is my favorite FL. The Song GM doesn’t disappoint.
I saw a review on this lense it was impressive but yours is as impressive! Love your work …
But I mute you each time you go to slurp your coffee😂😂😂😂
So good peter
Outstanding F1.8 L IS USM achieves bokeh both for portraiture and sports photography.

I am learning about the manual mode of the camera ,can anyone explain why Pete used higher iso over slower shutter speed ,it can be his personal choice but it's it not recommended to pump iso cause of noise. Also the landscape was in decent lighting conditions.
Because once you're out into telephoto range, it's best practice to keep your shutter speed fast, (even with IS), to avoid shake. Tele shooting is way less forgiving than wide angle.
I'm sure he would have liked lower iso, but it looks like he was doing most of this handheld, which typically means at the bare minimum you want your shutter speed to equal the focal length for sharp images(i.e. 1/135 here). Also you want the higher shutter speed with the many subjects he shot. Hard to tell exactly what lighting conditions were too since all the shown images were post-processing, it does look quite overcast though. At the end of the day though, while hitting native ISO will always be ideal, these modern mirrorless cameras are pretty solid in the 1-2k range, even higher for some cases.
Nice...I shoot with Sony full frame and come from the film days spent alot of money on the camera body and have a MD Minolta Celtic 135 2.8 it works great manual focus all steel only 6 blades and I get buttery bokeh, precise focus with 270 degrees of focus rotation.
we miss the backdrops and the way pete use to sit in center and describe everything. pam pam pam that light this light natural light .. boom record now.
on 4:44 what has the camera hanging on the backpack? can somebody tell me
F1.8 "ALL the way through" 🤭, this should be a new contest, catch the bloopers that made it into the cut! The last few years have been a bit of a crazy blur, 2022 seems to have brought some normal back for lots of people, it just seemed to fly by for me, Wondering what you got planned for 2023?
My fav lens ever still using it on r5 with adapter
Little late to the comments but shoot with a R5c. Have the 24-105 for just all around travel documentary stuff and a 50mm 1.8. Considering skipping the 70-200 all together and going with the 135mm and then the 100-500 for the long work. I’ve owned 70-200s in the past EF. But considering now the 1.4/2x tele converters are not comparable I might forgo that focal range. Ans with the 24-105 the 70-200 pretty much acts as a 105-200. Thoughts I know you’ve used them all
New mattebox PM VERSION?
Pete! which do you like more the 85mm or the 135mm?
Literally the best lens, ever. So underrated, yet the best prime!
It's not underrated - it's just niche focal length for prime lens and it's not suitable for everybody. Though in the terms of image quality and rendering - 135mm primes are probably most cinematic lenses whatsoever.
