What i am interested in is, now that the 135 1.8 ART is announced (with it's impressive MTF chart), how many of you would rather go for that lens instead of the 85 1.4 ART.
a 1.8 on 135mm makes for even smoother bokeh, but i'm not sure if the length is cumbersome. I read that a lot of ppl prefer 85mm over 135, but since i never owned either a 85 or 135 i can't tell. But i am interested in buying either the 135 or 85 ART.
This is just my opinion, but if you are standing in front of a client/model/friend/relative and making a portrait be it full length, three-quarter or a headshot, then the 85mm is very useful.
If you are shooting things on stage, and this shows my bias, then consider the 135mm - but then why not a 70-200mm f2.8L unless you value less weight, more speed?
I am not sure the Canon 135mm will be eclipsed by the 135 Art - the 135 f2L is a great lens with fast, accurate AF and reliable Canon build quality.
135 Art = 1130gm
135 f2L = 707gm
