The EF 135mm F2 feels... aged. I did not look at the release year, but it has the look of an older Canon L lens. Some of those get bad press, and I was talked out of getting one, which was more than reasonably priced.

But I am considering it, I really am.

If you’re thinking 135 you should give serious consideration to the Sigma Art 135mm f/1.8.  It’s sharper than the Canon and has less CA (even wide open).  Bokeh rendering is beautiful.  It’s my own choice for “occasional” portraits.
