Forums > Back > 100mm L IS macro for portraits?

I have both for about a year. The 135/2 is better for portraits. No surprise here. AF is faster as well. However, now that I have to sell one it's the 135 that'll go. Reason is simple: The difference as a portrait lens is not that big and IMHO the IS makes it a more versatile lens, even with the one stop disadvantage. If IS is not so important for you then buy the 135/2 and a 12mm extension ring.



Please note that I find IS very valuable in any lens and that I don't shoot portraits for a living so these factors affect my decision. If any of these would not exist I'd sell the 100/2.8 IS instead.

Just a small note: a 12mm ring won't bring you close to macro with 135mm... a 25mm one probably will.
