Very sharp, nice bokeh and relatively cheap for a good quality L-lenses.
But sold off mine because the focal length became too long on a 1.6x crop sensor.

Quality?! All pro...no cons.
If you're on a 1.6crop sensor, i wouldn't really recommend it for portraits. Somewhere closer to 50mm might be easier to manage, 85mm if you're really up to it. 135mm on a 1.6crop, you'll probably want to factor in the cost of a loudhailer too if you're gonna do lots of direction.

EF135 F2L is my most reliable lens when I need to guarantee image quality. Here is one example at F2.5

too long for potraits on a 1.6x body IMO.

primes are good
L primes are even better
so if you like the focal length 135
then the 135 f2L is very good for you

thanks for all the comments ... i have decided to get one, by doing this i will retire my 70-200mm F2.8L soon, but i will keep it for the moment ..

I will use my coming 135mm gear-up with 20D mostly for potrait close-up, hope it can deliver the quality
