Hi, Im new to this forum and have enjoy reading all the topics etc..

I have the above Canon Lenses and haven't used it, I love my Canon 18-200 all purposes lens in which I use most of the times with my EF50mm f/1.4 USM (but not all that keen in changing lenses during a shoot..hehee..)

I would like to find out from others who have these type of lenses, (200mm f/2.8 & 135mm f/2 USM) what they use it for (type of photos) Need some tips/ideas on what to use these lenses. Thanks in advance..

I've considered buying a Canon 5d Classic for the Canon 35mm f/1.4L and the 135mm f/2.0L alone. The 135L is a legendary lens. Just back away from your subject, and shoot f/2.0. It'll give silky bokeh and great separation.

I disagree with Scotty slightly. Just sell the 200 2.8 and the 135 f/2 and get a 70-200 2.8L IS II.

And a 5DIII from selling the 7Dx2

Then buy another 5DIII when you can.

Or switch to NIkon.
