Jonathan, it's been pleasure reading your review.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I have also bought the Canon 135mm F2, had it about three months now but not had the weather yet to give it a real good test outside

Get ready for a GIANT smile on your face!

I, like yourself like to take portraits. I'm no pro just an amateur like yourself who likes to dabble in photography.

After the few indoor photographs I have taken with this lens the one thing that is missing for me is image stabilisation. I have noticed with my pictures taken with this lens and the Canon 6D there is some camera shake but they have been shot indoors with poor lighting. That is why I can't wait for the spring and summer time, yes I am a fair weather photographer

Yeah, IS would be nice - especially for indoors or event photography, but given the focal length of this lens, it really was made for outdoor shots!  You'll find that outdoors at f/2, you'll get plenty fast shutter speeds and low ISO.

Good review

Thanks!
