Re: 135mm f2

I bought the Canon 135F2 earlier this year. I was looking for a sharp, fast and… affordable telezoom for my Canon M50 (cropsensor), specifically for shooting indoor events. Someone gave me the (golden) tip to look at the 135. I bought a used one, and since then I love this lens. With my crop-camera I now have a nice and fast telezoom (faster than the expensive and heavy 70-200F2.8). Perfect for indoor events like the concerts of my daughter (see picture). I tried it also as a portrait-lens, and here too you get sharp images with nice bokeh.  Although it’s an older lens, I had no issues with AF.
