Canon has finally released a new 135mm portrait lens. Gareth Bevan and Dan Mold investigate
Build and handling
Canon last released a 135mm professional portrait lens way back in April 1996 but has now, finally, released a sequel, albeit this time for a new mount. The RF version of the 135mm has grown in size from the EF version, with the optical image stabilisation and extra stop of aperture making this lens a bit larger than its predecessor. Cameras have also become smaller, making the setup with this lens front-heavy.
