Oops! Wrong file! Here is the correct file with the 135L at f/2.2, files in and out of focus as she goes toward the hoop. Note the lack of flexibility with this lens for sports, however, f/2.8 would not be really good here as ISO would have been 8000 vs 5000.


Well 60% is higher than I would have thought. I think the 1Dx must be helping, plus your ability to use it. Anyway I like your pictures of basket ball. The razor thin depth of field coupled with the expressions on the young players faces make for enjoyable pictures. Keep posting !

Thanks. I appreciate your comments. I still need to improve a lot though. I want to keep learning and improving and I think this site helps a great deal.

It's my favorite lens, next to the 50L, easily suitable for fashion and portrait work. It also shines as a lighter, more discreet lens for street photographers. Creating beautiful crisp images with wonderful bokeh in lowlight, better than the current zooms in my opinion. Here's an image paired with the 5DM3, square cropped (You can see the full image at my Website under Journal > Amara).

I absolutely love this image. It's outstanding. Great job.

Oh man, there are some incredible images in this thread. A couple of my own contributions... not what I expected to be using this lens for necessarily, but the focus speed is a revelation compared to the 100mm f2.8L, and I was excited to be able to capture these:


5D3 135mm f/2.8 1/4000s ISO 200


5D3 135mm f/3.5 1/4000s ISO 200
