A 135 remains a lousy replacement for a 70-200 for wedding portraits and engagement shoot/outdoor portraits, taken by a professional photographer at wedding after wedding, in a desire to satisfy a variety of clients under a variety of circumstances, professionally.

Perhaps a well-written original post would have been handy. Something along the lines of, >What are the chances my clients and I would b e pleased with pictures from a 135 f2 when I have the time and space and shooting circumstances to use a fixed focal length lens, often outdoors.?<<

And then experienced photographers could have told you what a wonderful lens the 135 f2 is, when used under restricted circumstances.

In simple terms the 135 F2 equals if not surpasses the 70-200 F2.8 II for sharpness and has the extra advantage of F2 lower price and less weight , within a few simple footsteps to compensate it can take the same shots but better. No one was ever talking about using it in restricted areas thats why i have other lenses and bodies. After all i am an experienced professional.

The only restriction in photography is imagination, its a shame you dont have one.
