3 Tele Lenses for 7D

[vx1kOrnot]

Hello can anybody please help in choosing a handful of telephoto's for filming and stills

Here they are and all in the same price range

CANON EF 100mm f/2 USM Telephoto Lens
CANON 135mm f/2.8 Soft Focus Lens
CANON 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

I am really interested in the CANON 135mm f/2.8 Soft Focus Lens

Anybody had experience with this ? can it track subjects well when shooting at 8 FPS

Thanks

For sports the 135/2.0 is faster in both speed and focus.

135mm SF on a 1.6 is 260mm is that going to be a problem with jello?

What kind of sports? If you're shooting from the stands, you may not have much in the way of verticals to see any jello in video. There is no jello if you're shooting stills.

For AF speed, the 100/2 is the fastest by quite a bit.

What are you shooting with now?

Jello is more apparent with tele lenses. But you shouldn't run and gun with a 135 anyways. Use wide or a 50mm for that purpose.
