Please help: do I need the 135/2L?

[Colin]

Yes, you definitely need it. It will make you happy.


(I know nothing about the lens, but I can sense your need [])

Very very nice, greggf. You nailed the focus (I find it difficult to get both eyes in focus with such a narrow dof) and the composition. And the cute little boy did his job


I wonder, though, how different this would have been with a 70-200 zoom at f/2.8.

[greggf]

I think they would be pretty similar...I don't have the 2.8, just the f4 IS, and I know that it wouldn't have quite as good(although that lens makes pretty good bokeh, too). I just really like the 135L for portrait work....and yes the boy really did his job very well!! thanks for the comment Jon!
