The  EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM is one of Canon’s best prime lenses (it receives a 9,9 on Fred Miranda’s overview). It is a very sharp and extremely fast lens.  An f2.0 is the largest apperture Canon makes for a focal length beyond 100mm.  In fact it is the longest focal length Canon EF lens currently manufactured with an aperture wider than f/2.8. For this reason (and more to follow), this lens is frequently recommended for indoor action sports photography. Look into the end of this lens and you see what seems like an unusually large amount of glass. From the looks of the resulting images, it must be really good glass.

If you are used to zoom lenses, you’ll be whiped of your chair seeing this lens’ results.  I use my Canon 20D only for shootings in cities.  And decided I’m sticking with my light and inexpensive 50mm f1.4.  Any bigger lens just catches to much attention where I spend my time.

The lens is new and I’ve barely used it for 20 shots.  It costs 1001,55 EU at Foto Konijnenber new, I sell it for 700,00 EU.  Drop me a line if you’re interested.
