Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus

The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus is a telephoto lens with a softfocus feature. The Canon EF 135 can be used without softening effect for crisp sharp images.

The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus can give razor-sharp snapshots as well as softfocus shots that do not look blurry. The Canon EF 135 also features 2 softfocus settings for added control.

The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus is a unique, compact telephoto lens that gives the choice of razor-sharp images, or with the twist of a ring, two degrees of soft focus. The Canon EF 135 works by applying "softness over sharpness," using deliberate spherical aberration on top of a sharp "core" image at apertures from f/2.8 thru 5.6; images taken at apertures smaller than f/5.6 are always sharp. Autofocus continues to function, with or without the soft focus in use. The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 lens is an ideal addition to a portrait or scenic photographer’s arsenal. A perfect combination with an EOS Digital SLR, with the camera enabling review of soft focus effect on the LCD monitor.

A telephoto lens is essential to any serious photographer. For sports action, you will need a fast shutter speed and a long focal length. A large maximum aperture allows a faster shutter speed. In this telephoto lens line-up, the focal lengths range from 135mm to 300mm. If you want compactness, choose a lens with a smaller maximum aperture.

The Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus is a medium telephoto lens with built-in softfocus function. While providing sharp, high-quality telephoto performance for normal use, a molded glass (GMo) aspherical lens element (4th) moves for spherical aberration-generating to vary the degree of softfocus effect. This design of the Canon EF 135 provides a superb softfocus effect while at the same time precisely corrects changes in aberration due to changes in focusing distance. Softfocus effect is ideal for portrait and pictorial scenes. Two degrees of softfocus can be selected. The AF system precisely focuses the subject for the optimum softfocus effect.
