Hi Milton, I had an EF 135 2L for some time, IMO the best lens Canon made after the EF 200 1.8L. But when going digital I rebalanced the lenses in my bag and one of the few lenses I kept was the EF 85 1.8USM. Great results on film, same great results digital. I'm only getting 110mm out it but it's still a very useful lens to me. I also kept the EF 50 1.4USM but find I'm missing the 50mm size a bit and there is no substitute though I'm considering a 35mm Canon prime.
