I like everything about that lens. However, a special quality which is appreciated more than anything else is its agility. Probably the fastest responding lens Canon has made bar none.

Just ranting... I will never sell this lens. Even if I get rid of all my cameras...ill mount it to a plaque and show it for generations and generations. ...nuf said

aside from some deal of longitudinal CA it is amazing

very sharp even at the corners of a 5D2

not at all bad even at f/2

amazing contrast and color

smooth

I haven't used mine as often as I'd like to, but at those times that I use it, I love it.

I bought mine last april, my first "L" prime, it is truly amazing.

I can't afford a 200mm F2L, but am considering a 85mm F:/1.2 for my next "L" prime. Its just difficult to justify the cost over the 85mm F:/1.8.

My 90mm TS-e is also a wonderful lens, but manual focus is not always that usable if things are moving.

135L is my go to street lens. It's a great lens.
However, it's not in the league of the 200L, but pretty darn close!

I'm digging the 100 L at the moment, but I don't think I could ever part with the 135 L.

Another great thing about it is that it takes the 1.4x extender.
