Canon L-series EF 135mm f/2L USM 135mm

37.1 Macro Score
135mm f/135 Canon EF
Why we recommend this

Combining an f/2 maximum aperture with two ED elements and Super Spectra coating, this L-series 135mm prime provides sharp subject isolation and smooth bokeh. The ring-type USM autofocus is fast and quiet, while its 127-gram weight is unusually low for a bright telephoto lens, enhancing all-day portability. It’s ideal for street and portrait shooters who need to compress perspective and separate subjects from busy backgrounds.
