Looking to add to my current selection of lenses on the Canon 5D3 and 5D2s I use. Currently use 24,35 and 85 primes as well as 70-200 F4L with a backup of 24-105L, i prefer the use of primes and am looking at one longer prime to replace the 70-200 mainly for wedding portraits and engagement shoot / outdoor portraits. All the reviews point to the Canon 135mm F2L being the best , on charts it looks the equal of the 70-200 2.8L II with the benefit of F2.

Is this the best bokeh and portrait lens on Canon , or would anyone say there was a better option ?

thank you

IMO the 135L is one of canon's best. The combination of the 85L and 135L would be my choice. I would keep the 70-200 for versatility, my preference being the 70-200 2.8L II especially for weddings. Along with your 24, 35 & 85 the 135L would be a nice addition. Not only does it have a nice bokeh but is exceptionally sharp.
