Hi all,
I am currently using a 1.6x Canon, and I am considering a new lens. I borrowed a Canon 135mm f2L once (just one shot of a bride model), and was blown away by its sharpness! I have searched on Flickr and absolutely love the bokeh it produces too. It gets rave reviews, and I believe it is known as the lord of the red rings?
The only concern I have, is that I will be using it for mainly outdoor portrait, or some street photography. Do you think it may be a bit long , as it will equate to over 200mm.
I don't really want to be in peoples faces, but do you think the Sigma may be a better choice, and do you have experience of its sharpness?
Some say sharpness isn't everything, but I would rate it as very important for me. Maybe there is an alternative to consider?
Any help/advice/views appreciated
