The EF 135 2.8 SF was among Canons original EF lens offerings during the 1987 EOS System debut. The designation Soft Focus refers to the two levels of dial-in spherical aberration that softens and imparts a beautiful glow to the image. Unlike a soft filter, you can quickly vary the effect by changing the aperture or soft focus setting. AF works perfectly with soft focus engaged, but if you change soft focusing settings after AF, you need to refocus. The soft focus effect is only visible from F2.8 to 4, so use Av or M mode and shoot slow ISO during the day. Highlights, especially on backlit subjects, enhance and intensify the glowing effect. Most women love the glamorous, blemish free glow it imparts. The 135 mm perspective makes models look thinner than 85 or 100 mm lenses.When soft focus is turned off, this is an extremely sharp, contrasty and flare resistant (7 elements) telephoto lens. Unlike most of Canons consumer primes, this lens is surprisingly sharp wide open at F 2.8. Of course, it needs to be sharp as most portraits are shot at F2.8 to 4 to render distracting backgrounds out of focus. I wish the minimum focusing distance was closer than 1.3 m (4.3), but at least thats near enough for a head and shoulders shot. This lens has 52 mm filter threads and uses the massive ET-65 III (or ET-65 II) lens hood, a clip-on design (not included).The front element does not rotate, nor does the barrel change in length when focusing. Although it uses the older AFD AF motor, it focuses surprisingly fast due to an internal focus (IF) design, almost as fast as many ring-type USM primes. The sound of the AFD motor is softer than most AFD designs, but those used to USM/STM might be put off by its pianissimo buzz. Build quality is 1980s consumerville plastics and a notch down from the EF 85 1.8 USM. Manual focus is loose and gritty, but slightly better than the EF 50 1.8 (MK I). The soft focus dial feels solid and has a lock to prevent inadvertent changes. Although build quality is plasticky, Ive had no problems with this lens in over 20 years of use.Use a penlight while peering down the front of the barrel and you can see one of the odd features of this design: tiny bubbles inside one of the inner elements. I assume the bubbles are used to increase diffusion. At first I thought my copy of defective but soon found the bubble element was a feature and not a defect! Apparently the technique was used in other soft focus designs as well.This lens was designed for portraits but I found it useful for indoor sports, club concerts and street shooting. Its a little long for studio and household use. Nevertheless, it is one of Canons hidden gems and is wonderful for a portrait shooter on a tight budget. For under $400, you wont see better quality this side of an L lens. More info at bit.ly/1eVJiqo.
