You get what you pay for. This lens paired with a fullframebody is a perfect allroundkit. Slap on a EF 12 tube and you have a great flowerlens.
I just need this and a 85 or 135 and then I am done.
This lens is alot better than the 35/2 and I really recommend anyone who has a fullframecamera to buy it. I sold my 24-70 for this lens. I do not regret it.

Pros:

Fast!!! and sharp. Fantastic colors and contrast.
The bokeh is amazing. Smooth and creamy.
|
|
Cons:
|
Heavy (adds stability though). Slower focus than the 85 1.8.
Price maybe? No it is worth every dollar.

I´ve had 2 85 1.8 and also a 135L for portraits.
They are not in the same league when it comes to lowlight-shooting.
It is a huge difference between 135L @ 2.0 and 85 @ 1.2.
The added weight also adds stability. I use mine around 1/50th and get good results. Had a hard time using the 135L under 1/160th.
Stopped down to 2.0-2.5 the amazing color and contrast starts to show. Sharpness is good to very good wide open. The contrast is a little lower.
I love this canonball. It is the last lens I will part with.
This lens + 5D and 35L, thats all I need.
