Lenses / Re: Which Lens Canon 85mm 1.8 or 135 L

« on: April 12, 2013, 04:20:01 PM »

EF 85 f/1.8 was the first lens I bought when I went to DSLR.  What a great lens for the money.  It focuses much faster than the 1.2 and has a closer minimum focusing distance.

The 135 f2 is a fantastic lens.  It's seriously my go-to portrait lens, and I own both the 85 1.2 and the 70-200 f2.8 IS MKII.  I couldn't recommend it any more highly!  I love it

Yup, I've been renting one of these babies when I need it; it'll surely be the next lens I actually buy.

Unless I happen to come into some 200mm f2 money.

I should imagine that polarising filter(s) will be essential!

Ok, that Bataflae 18L bag definitely IS cool, and I've been wanting something to replace this orange 1970's camera bag I inherited!

I saw a Sony camera on ebay the other day for $3 that was 1 MP and took Apple floppy disks.  Oh how classic.

Now THAT I'd love to see

I paid $3499 in full for my 5D3 a couple months ago. I don't feel sour towards these new lower prices at all.

Same here.  I love this camera!

Alternatively I'm thinking of building a featherweight street shooter by pairing the 6D with the 40mm STM.

That's an great idea

Count in in with the people who will buy this as a backup one it drops below $1500US.  Otherwise, I'm happy with my 5D3 with 7D as backup.
