Value For Money

This lens currently costs around £860, which seems like good value for money, given the excellent optical performance and build quality of this lens.

The closest equivalent to this lens is Canon's EF 135mm f/2.8 SF lens, which costs around £350 and includes a soft focus effect control, but is a stop slower at maximum aperture and lacks the optical quality of this lens.
