Amazing Lens
This has to be my favourite lens and without doubt the best I have ever purchased. Of all my Nikon glass, this one is the sharpest wide open - so much so that I only use it wide open. The bokeh is beautiful and the defocus ring adds a subtle softness to the bokeh.

My main portrait lens. Everything look great with this, razor sharp at f2, smooth bokeh, fast, built like a tank. For me the choice between the 135 and 70-200 was the size and weight : I don't want to carry all day long the zoom beast for street portrait photography.
Pros:
- compact
- sharp
- incredible bokeh
Cons:
- purple fringes
- no VR

Get it now because this will be a classic of all classics.
This is without a doubt the best lens for portraits EVER! It is well made in traditional Nikon fashion, without compromises and the best you can own. I highly recommend getting it from Amazon for the best price on the market.

Nikon 135mm f/2D AF DC Nikkor
This has to be one of my favorite all time Nikkors and portrait lenses. The rendering and IQ of this lens is extremely beautiful and elegant. Really and amazing portrait lens even without the DC control. The defocus adds another dimension to this beautiful lens.
Pros:
- Light weight
- compact telephot with great IQ
- one of Nikons best
Cons:
- Slight CA at some apertures

Best of the best!
The Nikon 135mm f/2 is largely considered to be one of the best lenses on the market. Herealded as one of the best portrait lenses on the market, this lens is razor sharp and produces beautiful bokeh.

My Favorite Portrait Lens
The defocus control function of this lens creates the most appealing bokeh of any lens I know. To my knowledge, no other lens, aside from the Nikon 105mm f/2 DC lens, offers this function.

Incredible and versatile 135 prime...
I own a series of Nikkor AF-D lenses that span the 50-180mm spectrum and allow me to capture excellent portraits in a variety of scenarios (50/1.4, 60/2.8, 85/1.4, 105/2, 135/2, and 180/2.8). Among these, the 105 and 135 DC-Nikkors are my favorite.

Nice Glass
Took this out for a good test run today to see how this great lens would work on some street shooting I was impressed. The bucket drummer was back lit on a street corner with sun light reflecting off every shiny surface it could tough light to say the least Nikon got it right here!

The definitive portrait lens. Old but not obsolete.
I was not expecting this lens to be as sharp as it is. It immediately threw out any reservations I had about DOF and focus accuracy, This is a purpose built portrait lens. It does have good contrast however Nikon designed it in a way to enhance skin tones at the expense of reds and oranges.
