Just looking through your blog posts and found this older post. The quality of this lense is really amazing!
I bought my first DSLR in April this year and got a 50mm f/1.8 in July. Compared to my kit lense the sharpness of this cheap 50mm is such a big difference. But the quality of your 135mm is just amazing!
Anyway: at this moment I love my 50mm (maybe until I can afford a new love) ;)

Guido, there is no comparison, the bokeh is so much more dramatic from the 135mm, it brings the background much closer, it’s much smoother, makes the blobs of light much bigger and the quality of images through the 135 the lens is hugely better, I guess thats why it’s 4 times the price of the 50mm.

Hey Rick,

Would you say you love the bokeh of the 135mm f/2 over your 50mm f/1.4? What are the differences in your opinion? (I know, I’m a Nikon boy and your comparisons won’t be accurate to my lenses, but still…)

Crumpler Muffin Full Photo bag is awesome dude, I’ve got one and its massive.

Dunno if it’ll be big enough for all the gear you got though, you can fit a 15″ lappy in it too. Theres enough space for about 5 lenses, 1 flash, body and some other smaller lenses (50mm’s).

Just thought I’d drop that by. I can wack up some pictures on flickr if you want cause I know crumpler have no idea how to describe their products.

Chris, don’t be silly. No one likes my face!

Adam, I hadn’t heard of them but I’m not into the style. At the moment I’m looking at some of the big Crumpler bags. I’m gunna go to the store and check them out in a couple of weeks, you can’t buy a backpack with out checking it out first!

Yea true, they aren’t cheap. You looked at any of the f-stop bags? Some of them seem to be huge, they look awesome too!

I wish dude, but they are not cheap. I’d love the 35mm f/1.4 L but it’s about £1200! Not I wont be picking that up anytime soon. Next for me is a new bag, I upgraded to one that I thought was HUGE about 5 months ago, now it’s way to small for all my kit. :( I need one roughly the size of a house.

I still can’t get over the pure image quality of this lens.

Will Rick now be switching everything to L primes?
