I fall in love with my friend's 5D Mark II + 135mm f/2 more and more everyday. The colour is just beautiful biggrin.gif

Wonder if D700 can beat 5D Mark II.

o_O 135 f/2 color beautiful? Are you serious? ._.

My friend using Canon always complain about the pale color of the 135 f/2... yes he's on 5dmk2 as well.

Yeah, maybe I like it that way. LOL. It's sharp too at wide open smile.gif

Nikkor's 135 f2 Defocus, how is it compared to Canon's 135 f2 L?

About the 135 f/2 defocus control, is it when we set front aperture as f/5.6, rear aperture as f/2, the image will be very sharp, as in wider depth of field for the subject only, but background very blurry. Like that ah?

Very similar. Both are legends in their own right. Sharp wide open.

The other lens that in the same focal length that enjoys cult following is the Sony / Minolta STF 135mm f/2.8 [T4.5] manual focus lens. I believe the working principle is similar to Nikon's DC ring.
The DC (defocus) ring is suppose to control blur of the bokeh in front or at the back of the subject. Suppose to work like that lah but I have actually never experimented with mine and just use it like a normal lens. Wide open at f/2, it's sharp.
*
I see, but judging from the video, the DC doesn't produce that much of a result. Nikon has patented it as well. LOL no wonder other companies doesn't produce this. But the lens is good.

Btw, thanks for the explaination. Can post some sample you took bro? Poison poison! brows.gif
