Question: I'm debating between the 135 and the 100 macro.  I'm torn between the two.   Any thoughts. I'll be using for portraits?
Document: I shot some portraits using the Sigma lens and I thought they came out even better than with the Canon 135. Plus the Sigma lens has two additional things I really want which is true macro AND image stabilization. I usually prefer Canon lenses over Sigma, but in this case Sigma has now one-upped Canon in this focal range.If you are making your living doing portrait photography you will definitely want this lens. It has some unique qualities.
One of my favorite lenses for portraiture and sports photography and here are just a few quick reasons why:1) Excellent build quality and it's light2) Extremely fast and quiet auto focus3) Excellent color and sharpness in your photos4) Fantastic Bokeh5) Feels nice in your handsNeed I say more? Yes! :-)I've been using his lens for nearly two years and it has never let me down. I do a lot of sports photography and I'm out in the elements often.
You only really get a small portion of the plant or animal in focus and the rest out of focus. Also, the closest focusing distance of 3 feet means that I can't get "up close and personal" enough to really fill the frame with my subjects the way I can with some of my other lenses which offer macro or pseudo-macro settings.After my initial disappointment, I decided to try this lens out on a tripod and did some portraits, both using available light and using a bounce flash.
When I use my 85 for candid portraits at weddings etc., people tend to notice I'm taking a picture of them. With the 135, they don't notice. Seems people have "radar" out to 85, but not out to 135. Just a thought for those of you trying to decide between the 85 and 135. The real decision is which to buy first - as you'll probably have both some day.
These three lenses are among the best of the non-L line, but the superior construction and operation of this lens was immediately apparent. I will have to keep the 100 macro for macro work; this lens needs to be about 4 feet or so away from the subject.
I wasn't sure about purchasing this lens since I already have Canon lenses/cameras that address the types of subjects and range of this lens ( 70- 200 mm f/4.0 IS L lens; 85 mm f/1.8 lens; 24-105 mm f/4.0 L; 100 mm f/2.8 L macro; 15-85 mm f/3.5 crop lens with 60 D Canon camera).
This will be a short review. All I'll do is relate a little anecdote.After my first session using the 135mm f/2, where I shot a young lady at a local park, a coworker came by while I was viewing the images on my computer, looked at the screen and said, "oh, cool. Did you photoshop the background, or is that a printed backdrop?" When I told her it was just the trees and flowers behind the girl, she refused to believe me.
Purchased this in my second year of college along with the 35 1.4 and have been using this combo exclusively for about a year and a half and I have to say that this lens specifically is my favorite ever.Pros:Very sharp, even at f/2Almost instant AFFairly lightAmazing bokehPriceCons:No IS, nothing over 1/100 for meOverall, this is a fantastic lens for amateurs and pros alike.
It's a one-purpose lens, and personally I don't want to lug a tripod to the park or nature preserve. As a tripod-mounted portraits I'll still give this lens four stars, but in today's terms of lens technology it falls short of what many lenses can achieve hand-held.I took the lens out a second time and had the same problem with motion blur that I had before. This is definitely a studio lens.
This lens IS everything everyone says about it. It IS my favorite lens, that I own. In fact I think the only lens I've ever handled that I like better is the Canon 200mm f/2 IS, at about 6x the price. Of course the 200 will scare small children from 100 feet away, but the 135 looks like a regular old lens. No big deal.
Answer: You did not mention if you use a FF camera or a crop sensor. That will have an impact on focal length. Without knowing much about your shooting style or long term plan, I would recommend getting the 135 if you have a FF body and the 100 if you are on a crop sensor.
