This results in superior resolution and high contrast across the entire frame, even when shooting wide open. * **USM (Ultrasonic Motor):** Equipped with a ring-type USM for lightning-fast, silent, and highly accurate autofocus. It also supports full-time manual focus override. * **Diaphragm:** An 8-blade circular aperture diaphragm that ensures smooth, natural-looking out-of-focus highlights (bokeh). * **Build Quality:** Built to professional standards with a robust, durable exterior designed to withstand the rigors of heavy daily use. * **Compatibility:** Fully compatible with all Canon EF-mount DSLRs (Full-frame and APS-C) and performs exceptionally well on the Canon EOS R mirrorless system via the EF-EOS R mount adapter. ### Condition and Included Items The lens is presented in excellent, well-maintained condition, reflecting its status as a premium professional tool. * **Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM Lens** * **Canon ET-78II Dedicated Lens Hood** * **Canon Front Lens Cap** * **Canon Rear Lens Cap** * **Canon LP1219 Soft Lens Pouch** (If available in your set) * **Original Box and Documentation** (If visible in your photos) **Condition Note:** The lens barrel is in superb aesthetic condition with minimal signs of use.

The autofocus is snappy and accurate, and the manual focus ring operates with a smooth, damped feel characteristic of the L-series. --- ### Why the Canon EF 135mm f/2L? While many modern zooms cover this focal length, they rarely match the "magic" of the 135mm f/2L. Its combination of telephoto compression and a large f/2 aperture creates a look that is difficult to replicate. It is also surprisingly lightweight and compact for its performance level, making it easy to handle for long portrait sessions. For anyone using the Canon system, this lens is an essential classic that continues to hold its value and performance against even the newest mirrorless optics. --- ### Listing Information for Catawiki * **Manufacturer:** Canon * **Lens Mount:** Canon EF-mount * **Focal Length:** 135mm * **Maximum Aperture:** f/2 * **Lens Series:** L-series (Luxury) * **Condition:** Excellent / Fully Functional * **Country of Manufacture:** Japan ---
