I like the shots you got w it.

The 6D itself is a slow focusing body...

Anyone compare the focus of the 135 f2 to the 70-200 2.8 ii?

I've had both and I found the 70-200 a bit faster. But for me the 70-200 is too big and heavy and if you want the background blurred, f/2 is a big help. I shoot music performances and got the lens mostly for that reason. You can squeeze out a bit more shutter speed, always a good thing with moving subjects.

I found mine on craigslist for a good price. I sold my 70-200 long ago.

To the OP - nice pictures!
