It seems th BH will no longer be selling the 135/SF:

Canon USA lists it as current:

Canon often does not show a product as discontinued until well after production has stopped.

I've once owned the lens, I bought it cheaply off Craigslist, but never really found a use for it. I also had the Nikon 135mm f/2 DC which was a very impressive lens, (and much more expensive). I ended up selling both a few years ago.
