I figured I'd chime in with points that have probably already been made. The 135L is a great lens; I think that's been established. As far as it's use in a wedding, it depends on your style of shooting; echoing what others have said.

I've heard people say they only use a 24-70 and 70-200; I've heard people say they only use primes; I've heard people say they only use a 24L and I've heard people say they only use the 50L. Are any of these people shooting weddings the "wrong" way? No. They're shooting weddings for what fits their style and what they want to deliver to a client.

So to answer the question, can the 135L replace the 70-200? Yes it can, so long as the photographer is comfortable making that decision.

A well worded and fair reply ! I have been using the 85mm as a replacement and although i do need a little more reach have found it easy enough as the times i use it are times i have the space anyway.
