Congrats! U beat me to the draw of the ATM card!
Actually I'm also considering the 135L and 70-200 F4 (less than 1K!).
The F4IS version will suit me better except for the initial cost.
I tested the 135L and F4IS a few weeks back and I'm hooked. Both are some of the sharpest canon lens. Great colour, sharp sharp wide open.
I just hope that when Canon phases out the 70-200F4, the F4IS version will drop in price.
Now my turn for "which to get first" :sweat:

135L has the advantage of working in low light without flash and bump up the iso. =D wich attracts me more than 70-200mm series.

BBB i'm waiting for my next L prime :devil: too bad no year end bonus too. how does the 135 perform?

which prime u planning to get? my roadmap is 35L, 85L and 135L.

its ideal if u have enough working distance. but if u do more half body and headshots, it's great. pictures are more contrasty and saturated but then its a L. :bsmilie:

i do more portraits so it works for me. the bokeh is smooth. but have to take care when shooting wide open cos easy to overexpose. :sweat:

haha. time for u to catch up then. i was looking at the 70200 f/4 IS. only worry was the cost and whether i would utilise that 200 often for portraits or not. so i went with the 135. most probably will get the 70200 next mth or in jan.

i doubt the non IS version will get phased out. its a good entry level tele zoom.

wait for 85? or 35? :bsmilie:

hidden3, u're right too much L here. Ur better off not buying any at the moment, just borrow from BP and Xunjas. ;p
My first lenses were 35-80mm and the 50/1.8 only. Now I got a spare 18-55kit to go, but u already got urs....
The new 18-55IS kit is getting rave reviews this past week. Some amazing stuff.
Use your 2 lenses to the max, and look out for the upcoming EFS 55-250IS. If the 18-55IS can drop jaws, this new 55-250 may be simply amazing as well.

Would u believe it, I already have a 67mm Pro1 filter and extra Tamron center-pinch lens cap waiting for a 70-200F4. I wanna wait for the travel friendly sized EFS 55-250, and my bonus, before I decide.

then fate decrees u buy the 70200 first. if not your stuff all wasted. the 135 is 72mm leh.

the 55250 would be great for travel but u would need a monopod for those low light situation. don't think the IS can help if u shooting at night at 250mm.
