A few years back I had an interesting conversation with a new photographer who was eager to jump head first into photography. ​She sent me an email asking a few things, but mainly wanting to know what lens I used. ​I always am super open about my gear and so I told her, the 135mm 2.0 (still my go-to...
How to Take Gorgeous Portraits with the 135mm lens + A Behind the Scenes Look! Â Looking for an upgrade in your lens? Maybe you’re just kinda bored with the lens you have, or maybe you’re looking for something that will just make those photos of yours look even better? If so, I know just...
Hello Emily! Well, now the 135 f2.0 is on my wish list…When I was using a crop sensor I loved my 17-55 f2.8, but now that I upgraded to the Canon 5D Mark III and mostly shoot real estate I pretty much only use my 16-28 f2.8 & my 50mm f1.4…Otherwise I rent lenses for different shoots. I am definitely checking out the 135mm! Thank you!ReplyCancel
Hello Emily, I just thought I would drop in and say hello and I read your information everytime it hits my mailbox. This lens you speak of meaning the 135mm seems like a great lens. I use my Canon kit long lens 55-220mm quite often and so far it seems to be my favourite…until now of course. Having to stand further away from my subject makes up for the great photo. I also use the uv lens protector on the outside and that seems to produce some really good results. I also subscribe to the ” F Stoppers” site on You Tube and they have some interesting things to view there as well on a mixed bag of issues, photoshop and products. They speak of a company that makes great lens’s and the name escapes me… I think it may start with the letter “R”…lol is that not silly or what… I will have to back and check. This is a great time of year up here in Maple Ridge BC, Canada for some awesome fall scenes and natural backdrops. I really like to use the fall colours as a blurred background for my subjects standing in the foreground. Cheers Emily, have a great week and Happy Clicking..Cheers… or Cheeze..lol bye for now.ReplyCancel
Hi Emily! I bought the 135mm lens last year because you suggested it and I use this lens often, if I have 4 or less subjects. I also use a 50mm lens which I have had for many years, which I use with larger groups and when it gets closer to sunset. I am in the market for a Luxe lens because I am having issues with having enough light with the 50mm. I may get an 85mm………….what do you think?ReplyCancel
You might have wondered what the difference is with all those numbers on lenses. You may have heard people talk about their 50mm or 200mm or maybe even a 35mm. But what does that mean exactly and why does it matter for your photos? Keep reading to learn and see a quick comparison of lenses!...
Are you a photographer that is trying to figure out what lens you should purchase next? It’s a big decision, I know! Camera lenses are expensive and an investment. Different lenses will give you different results and you want to make sure that you’re buying the one that is right for you. I get asked...
I agree 100%. I purchased the 100mm macro and the 135. I do a lot of event photography. One day I picked up my 135mm because I was giving it one more go before I sold it thinking I only need one of the two and OMG! Major game changer for me.
And it didn’t break my bank. Right now it’s growing my balance. ReplyCancel
Hey Mel! I wish I could be of better help, but I have not used the 100. I have considered it for macro shots, but I’m very happy with the 135 so have never added the 100 to my collection. Good luck with whichever lens you decide and feel free to send me some of your shots with either lens 😉 -EmilyReplyCancel
