One of the joys of the ef 135mm f2.0 L is that it's a very small and light lens (relatively) and it's way more versatile that is obvious from it's space sheets. The problem with it is that it's an old design lens (pre-digital) and it could really do with an image stabiliser. It's not a fantastically fast lens to use, sure it has an f2.0 aperture, but due to it's focal length a min shutter speed of 1/125th is required. So it's no where near as bright to use as say an 85mm f1.2.
If Canon decides to increase the aperture to f1.4 then the front element is likely to be around the 95mm in size (currently 72mm) and that means a far larger and heavier lens.
I'd like to have a go with what ever Canon are producing here, but I suspect that it would be quite bulky.
