Hi there!

Primarily aiming this question at present or past 135mm f2l users, although feel free to chip in..

As a former Canon shooter, now Fuji, the 135mm f2 still has to this day the best bokeh and sharpness I've ever seen from a lens.

I second this view.  If you can afford this lens - it is not a necessity - you may make some memorable images.  Use it wide open.
