▸ 135mm
A 135mm is a niche add-on for me—mainly outdoor ceremonies where I want to be a fly on the wall but still get tight, emotional close-ups. You can get away with a 70–200, but I really love the look of f/1.8 for ceremony moments.
Pros
- +Lets you shoot ceremonies discreetly from further back
- +Beautiful compression and shallow depth of field at f/1.8
- +Great for tight emotional moments without being intrusive
Cons
- -Not a must-have lens for most photographers
- -Less flexible than a zoom like a 70–200
