Is the canon ef 135mm f 2l usm worth buying used?

Yes, I'd say it's a good candidate for buying used. My buying used guide makes the case that lenses are built to last, so an older one usually gives you most of the performance for much less money. The 135mm f/2 is a fast prime with autofocus, and it's made for full frame, so it fits a wide range of Canon bodies.

If you're pairing it with a full frame body, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II and the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV are both on the list. On an APS-C body like the Canon EOS 80D, it frames like about 216mm, which is great for distant subjects.
