Canon 135mm f/2L

One of the most popular of Canon’s L-series primes, this very sharp, fast lens is a wonderful long portrait and “head and shoulders” lens on full-frame cameras. On crop frame cameras, it’s a great short telephoto or long portrait lens. The f/2 maximum aperture provides narrow depth of field, produces great bokeh, and allows clean shots even in dim light.

Roger’s take: Full disclosure first: I love primes, and this prime was my first love. It’s special- one of those lenses that other photographers go “what did you shoot that with?” when they see the print. I use it a lot for head and shoulder portraits when I want some space between myself and the subject. This lens is also great for photographing kids and toddlers when you want to be far enough away to catch spontaneous shots.
