Re: Canon 135mm f 2.0L to go with 35mm f1.4 & 85mm 1.8

Opinion of an amateur Canon/Nikon user: Way back when I had a 40D and years later for a brief time, a 5Dmkii, this lens (different copies) worked magic: nice contrast, sharp, etc. I don't take the DXO 135mm L review with a grain of salt but it doesn't totally convince me - I think it's better. I used a 35mm f1.4L (refurbished from Canon Store) and the 135mm f2 L (new from Amazon) - during a Colombian vacation and the pair it covered almost everything well to my amateur liking and I imagine the pair would perform just as well on a 6D. The last time I left my D800 at home and used a 6D w/ EF 50mm f1.4, a low weight, low key combo ( maybe I had a good copy of the 50mm f1.4 ). While  I loved that combo, at times, I really missed the reach of the 135mm L.
