The Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Telephoto Lens stands as a pinnacle in fast, professional telephoto primes. Designed for serious photographers who demand breathtaking portrait separation, superb low-light performance, and razor-sharp detail, this L-series lens delivers stellar results with digital cameras and beyond. Its fast maximum aperture of f/2 provides generous light-gathering ability, enabling dramatic subject isolation and beautiful background blur even when shooting indoors or in challenging lighting. Built around Canon’s renowned L-series optics, this 135mm prime offers outstanding image quality, reliable autofocusing, and a robust, professional build that is ready for demanding assignments—from indoor sports to studio portraits and environmental portraits where every pixel counts.

  • Unmatched speed and subject isolation — The fast f/2 aperture enables dramatic background separation and subject emphasis even in dim indoor environments. With careful exposure, you can achieve a shallow depth of field that flatters portraits, creates a sense of depth, and keeps the subject crisp while the background dissolves into creamy bokeh. This makes it an ideal choice for head-and-shoulders portraits, candid studio shots, and event photography where light is often less than ideal.
  • Outstanding optical quality with UD-glass elements — The lens incorporates two UD-glass elements to correct secondary spectrum, delivering exceptional sharpness and color accuracy from edge to edge. This correction minimizes chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring faithful skin tones, crisp textures, and true-to-life color rendition across the frame—even at wide open f/2. You’ll notice improved micro-contrast and detail in foliage, fabrics, and fine delineation in hair strands and eyelashes.
  • Fast, precise autofocus with a quiet Ultrasonic Motor — The USM drive delivers swift, accurate focusing with minimal hunting, which is essential for candid portraits, sports action, and fast-changing scenes. The combination of a responsive AF system and manual override allows you to lock focus quickly and fine-tune composition on the fly, helping you capture decisive moments with confidence and control.
  • Professional build quality for serious photographers — As an L-series telephoto prime, this lens features a sturdy, all-metal exterior and a design that prioritizes optical performance and durability. The construction is designed to withstand frequent use on location, in studios, and during high-demand shoots with digital cameras. Its size and balance pair well with a wide range of Canon bodies, offering stable handling when tracking subjects at a distance or working with shallow depth of field effects.
  • Versatile performance for portraits, indoor sports, and events — The 135mm focal length provides flattering perspective for portraits, allowing comfortable working distances in studio or low-light venues. At the same time, it remains a practical choice for indoor sports and events where you want compressed perspective, subject separation, and crisp detail. The combination of fast aperture, sharp optics, and reliable AF makes it a go-to lens for professionals who shoot both people and action under varied lighting conditions.

How to install Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Telephoto Lens

Step 1: Power down your camera body to protect the electronics and sensor while mounting the lens. Step 2: Align the lens’s red dot (or alignment mark) with the camera’s corresponding mount marker. Step 3: Gently insert the lens into the camera mount and rotate clockwise until you hear a click, indicating a secure fit. Step 4: Lift the lens cap away if attached and power on the camera to verify connection and communication between body and lens. Step 5: Set the camera to an appropriate shooting mode (manual or aperture priority) and choose an exposure suitable for the scene, considering the lens’s fast f/2 aperture. Step 6: When not in use, replace the front and rear caps to protect the optics, then store the lens in a padded case to preserve alignment and performance. Step 7: Periodically clean the lens contacts with a clean, dry cloth or a dedicated electronic-safe wipe to maintain optimal autofocus performance and accurate metering. Step 8: If needed, mount to a sturdy body or support system for handheld use, or pair with a monopod/tripod for extra stability during longer sessions or panning shots.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM suitable for portraits? Yes. The fast f/2 aperture creates shallow depth of field and smooth background blur, delivering flattering portraits with strong subject separation and high image quality. The 135mm focal length also provides a flattering perspective for head-and-shoulders and environmental portraits, allowing you to compress background elements while keeping the subject crisp and prominent.
  • What cameras is it compatible with? The lens uses the Canon EF mount, so it is compatible with Canon EOS DSLR bodies and film SLRs that support the EF mount. When used on modern digital bodies, it benefits from the lens’s fast aperture and optical design to maximize image quality and AF performance.
  • Does it have image stabilization? The Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM relies on a fast aperture and precise focusing for handholding at shorter shutter speeds. It does not include built-in optical image stabilization, so use of a stable stance, support systems, or higher shutter speeds is recommended when shooting in low light or at longer focal lengths.
  • How should I care for and maintain this lens? Regularly wipe down the exterior with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Use a proper lens hood when shooting in bright sun to reduce flare, and store the lens in a padded case when not in use. Periodically check for dust inside the front element and consider professional cleaning if needed to preserve peak optical performance.

Out of Control with Technology
Format: Hardcover
I found the book very interesting! The authors did a great job of discussing the benefits of different social media sites. While the sites were intended for good use, there is always a downside. Each of the sites were exploited over time for a use other than intended. While this is by no means a surprise, it is amazing how others were quick to use the sites for illegal purposes. The history of how some of the sites were developed was interesting too. Of additional interest was the amount of notes included in the book. A third of the book is devoted to this alone. It shows the level of thoroughness the authors took to allow readers to delve deeper into topics discussed in each chapter. The most pressing question for social media: What is the next level of advancement?

All's fair in Like and War
Format: Hardcover
Is Mark Zuckerberg responsible for exacerbating the killing fields on the South Side of Chicago? What is China's Golden Shield Project and what might it mean for you? Did Michael Flynn have any good ideas before his fall from grace serving in the Trump administration? Read this book and you'll get the answers to these questions and many more. This book takes a notion with which most readers are likely already familiar - the internet has graduated from its nascent status as a series of tubes connecting nerds and defense contractors to that of an ineffably complex globe-gobbling organism engaged every hour of every day in the instantaneous distribution of information spanning all spectra of human activity - and combines it with one not so well established in the popular imagination - we (or, at least, everyone who uses the internet) are all potential foot soldiers, willing or not, in the online and offline wars still raging as well as those yet to come. Written in succinct, snappy prose, the book tells the story of the internet from its peculiar vantage point at the intersection of social media and military conflict with its arguments firmly based in factual and expert analysis. Those seeking to validate a particular political slant or ideology should look elsewhere.

Insightful but troubled
Format: Hardcover
This book could have been so much more but it fell short. The book does capture a new phenomenon sweeping the world. The growth of social media is that phenomenon. The book does a good job chronicling the growth of social media and its impact on a general scale. Through that growth opportunities were created. The book does a good job of listing how people, groups and countries exploit these opportunities. They advance their respective agenda various ways on social media. I loved the pages which talked about how AI can create fake news with all of the authenticity of an eye witness account. The book lists impacts of these trends with crystal clear words. You can see impact clearer than any other source out there. The negative is the bias of the authors. Who the authors voted for in the last election screams out with every chapter. They use the topic as a club to bash republicans, President Trump, and conservatives. They miss how Democrats were playing the same games as Trump before Trump. This bias causes a reader to lose the message and dangers through politics. David Plouffe, the Obama campaign manager in his book "The Audacity to Win" said he used social media in 08 election. Funny how these people ignore those events to focus on what Republicans do. I also think their constant drum beat of what the Russians do creates a false election that they stole the election. The authors forget the failed policies of Hillary.
