Colloquially known as the “model lens”, at 135mm the subject is well and truly the focus of whatever the shot may be. The Canon L “Luxe” series 135mm has a wide open aperture of 2.0
It is part of Canon’s prestigious L series. Proof of its greatness is the fact that it is one of the oldest of Canon's L lenses. It has been in the market since 1996 with unchanged optics.
Features a MF and AF button and a focus limiter. The ring-type ultrasonic motor provides fast and silent auto-focus.
The full frame, wide open lens is usable right into the corners, with one downside of this wideness being it's susceptibility to lens flare.
Quality is excellent: high grade materials, tight build, smoooth and well damped rubberized focus ring.
Optical construction includes two ultra low dispersor -also known as UD- glass elements.
