Hey,
I am toying with a new portrait lens (for 5d markII)It will either be the 135mm f/2 or the 100mm f/2.8 L. I already have an 85mm 1.8, but would like something longer and without so much purple fringing. the lens will be used for travel portraiture. The macro is in the mix because it will allow me to take some close-ups form time to time. What I am concerned about is the bokeh and the amount of background blur that can be achieved with the macro vs. the 135mm. Does anybody know how great the difference is? Can anybody post outdoor examples? Many thanks!
