I'm honestly really on the fence with the 58 still....
Two below are with 58 and 135. The shot with the 58 is just bleh

Different compression so obviously there is quite a difference in the way the photo looks. I agree the 135mm suits the image of your wife better. I'm thinking the 58mm did a pretty good job with this scene considering it shows much more of the environment.
Got my laptop back finally.

How did you get her lit so well with the sun behind her? I struggle with that.

Severe underexposure and then bring up in post processing, then vignette and reduce highlight with a radial filter.

Awesome shots posted! really help sell the lens!
The 58mm 1.4 seems a lot like the 50L from Canon. Both lenses do not "test" well but once you get them and use them you love them. The 50L is MUCH sharper than the tests lead you to believe.

Jason, those two lenses are completely different. How often will you have this much space to use with the 135?
I did a comparison one time with my Canon 85 at f/1.2 and 200mm at 2.8 and two shots came out almost the same expect the background got “larger” on the 200mm, rendering pleasing results.
Same view here, your 135 shot has a much more compressed background but bokeh size isn’t THAT much bigger. I love the shots and comparison though!!
I use both, 58mm and 70-200VRII for weddings cuz both are completely different lenses. If i want less of the OOF elements in my background, I’ll use the 200mm at 2.8

When you use the center point, the DF isn’t that bad with tracking, even at f/1.4... I expected worse...

Trying to use some of my portrait lenses for some landscapes. I liked the way this one turned out.

An interesting take on a landscape. I think I like it. It has a surreal look to it. I used my 58mm in Colorado quite a bit and it was an amazing performer and very sharp. Used f/8 most of the time. It's a great all around lens.

This lens puts any of Canon's 50mm lenses to shame. Love the rendering of it and there are some great photos in this thread.

Nah, this is a gentle slope with trees and bushes right below. I like how the shallow DOF makes the scene appear "deeper" than it actually is.
