It has been one of my favorite lens for a long time. I don't use it much any more because Ive purchased the 70-200 2.8 IS II.

I can tell you that at 135 mm it does compete with the big lens.

I just finsished shooting a senior session for a friend of mine and I love the versatility of the 70-200 but you really have to be careful, as you zoom out (70-120) range you really loose the great background blur.

The 135 makes you zoom with your feet and think more about framing your subject. I shot almost all the shoot with my new lens but I did get the 135 out and took a series of shots. When I processed the pictures on my computer the 135 shots were really nice.

I've thought about selling the 135 but I'm still not just ready to let it go. It's a wonderful piece of glass that is a lot lighter than the  70-200.

i think there is a place for both in my camera bag for now!
