[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/52338565[/vimeo] The Canon 135mm F2L is at the moment my favourite lens on full frame. For the kind of shooting I am doing here, I wanted to stand back from the scenery and punch in. How does it perform?
The EOS 1D C is a $15,000 DSLR which is heavily based on the $6000 1D X but has extra recording modes for 4K/24p and 1080/50/60p.

Now the word on the street according to Canon Watch is that Canon are (sensibly in my…
