Bokeh Characteristics:
- 85mm f/1.4 GM: Classic smooth bokeh with excellent subject separation
- 100mm STF: Unique APD element creates ultra-smooth “STF” bokeh (but reduces light by ~1.5 stops)
- 135mm f/1.8 GM: Most extreme background compression at f/1.8
Focusing Performance:
- 100mm STF has OSS (optical stabilization) making it better for handheld
- 135mm GM has fastest AF for sports/action
- 85mm GM balances speed and precision
Specialty Uses:
- 100mm STF: Ideal for controlled studio work with its signature bokeh
- 135mm GM: Perfect for runway fashion and athletic portraits
- 85mm GM: Most versatile for general portrait work

Pro Tip: The 100mm STF’s T5.6 equivalent light transmission means you’ll need to compensate with higher ISO in low light compared to the other two lenses.
