The 135/2L is a fantastic lens; one of the top EF lenses Canon produces.

Here are some shots taken with it:

I now have a 40D - I can't comment on what it looks like on the 5D.... but on this camera, it's gorgeous:

Careful focus!

Long, though...

@SocietyWorks, I would say not so much better or worse just a different working focal length. As Bold Puppy has mentioned...'long'. 135mm on the 5D and 216mm on the 40D. Regardless of what you put this on, the lens is an amazing piece of glass!

...might call me crazy, but I traded in (with $ back, too!) a very used 16-35L (version one) after only a couple of days for a used copy of this 135L. This was the only photo I took with it right outside the camera shop... when my 20d battery took a nap...
