Re: Nor what you want, but..

I can give you my opinion as a former owner of both these lenses. The 135L bokeh is excellent at any aperture and any shooting distance (according to memory), better that the 85/1.2 at full body shots.

If there was one thing that jumped at me about the 70-200/II as being bad, well, it was the bokeh. Transition areas are quite disturbing in my opinion. It was one of the reasons I decided to sell it. But, of course, this is just one man's subjective opinion.

Best regards,
Alex
