Hi Stephen,

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Couple of questions, I hope you could answer based on your experience.

• How does 200 f/1.8 L on full frame compares to 135 f2 L on crop body (216mm @ f2).
• How does 135 f2 L (with and with out 1.4 converter) compares to 70-200 f2.8IS as an alternative.

I am not a pro and am considering either 70-200f2.8 IS or 135 F2 L + 1.4 combos. The pictures from 135 definitely has ‘glow’ to them that 70-200IS rarely produces which might be the difference between copies.

For a little more price of 70-200IS, I can add either with 135 f2 a 100-400 or 300IS prime. What do you suggest?

I turned on to 135L after checking 200 1.8 performance which is nothing short of stunning. You do have all the lenses and perhaps can advice which will be much appreciated.
