Pros: I.Q. Very high, blurring pleasantness, construction, stabilizer, magnification ratio, versatility of use, relative compactness.
Cons: Weight & Price
Opinion: This lens is the perfect telephoto complement to the regular RF 50mm 1.2 L. The chromatic response, the pleasantness of the blur, the very high quality up to the edges even at full aperture are in fact completely comparable characteristics, even superimposable to the "brother" of standard focal length. Which, at least for those who know and appreciate 50/1.2, should be enough to tell the qualities of this medium-telegraph, excellent in close-up portraits, but not only; I think it would be reductive to consider it only a portrait lens, because the very high definition of which it is capable allows it to face head-on genres such as landscape, architecture and even close-up shots, because even if it is not a macro, the minimum m.a.f. at 70cm is usually sufficient for shooting subjects and even rather small details (RR about 1:4). The stabilizer and the high brightness allow you to take handheld shots without blur, especially if the camera has an internal stabilizer that works in conjunction with that of the lens. The greatest value for me remains the beautiful "detachment" of the subject from the background, especially because it is not dry and violent as with certain zooms, but very gradual and... Natural, I dare say. I bought a rather short screw hood, to replace the "right" one supplied: I did it to further reduce the intrusiveness of a lens that, although more compact and less showy than a white 70-200/2.8, is still an object that is easily perceived by people, which often prevents the realization of spontaneous and genuine shots. It is certainly true that the costs of RF lenses are high, especially for the L series; However, this and other lenses in my possession have proven to be worth the purchase price. The performance, the chromatic response, in particular of the 50/1.2, the 28-70/2 and this 135/1.8, do not seem far from me, if they are, from the excellent Leica apo-asph fixed cameras of the SL series, whose costs make these splendid Canons seem cheap... Far be it from me to start stadium discussions, but these Canon Ls are really top-notch. |
