I have a Canon EOS 80 and seems every other picture I take is blurry. I wander if it’s the lens that I have. Any suggestions to what is the best lens to use for up close pictures? I am trying to capture the subject clear and the background blurry
thank u for your help

If it is the EF 135mm f2L then you would want to be using a low number f/stop to have minimum depth of field.
Depth of field is defined as how much of the image in front of and behind your subject will appear sharp.

I agree with John. A higher shutter speed will cancel out motion blur. The EF 135mm F/2L USM lens is unstabilized. If you're taking pictures inside watch how low your shutter speed gets. If it gets too low camera shake will be visible in your pictures.

How do you hold your camera when you shoot? If you hold it like a cell phone: at arms' length looking through the LCD, you will be far more prone to camera shake, especially with a telephoto lens.
If you are using this method, I strongly suggest you try the method below:
