16 years on from its launch the Canon EF 135mm f/2L prime is still going strong and available to buy brand new today. With a wide maximum aperture, useful telephoto focal length and good build quality it offers some attractive features.

So with newer, fresher and cheaper competition coming on to the market all the time is this old-timer still relevant? |
