Yes, the lens does have a softness to it at f/1.2 (some copies worse than others), but that is what gives this lens a distinctive "dreamy" quality to photos at f/1.2

The color saturation of the photos was remarkable - I shoot in RAW and usually need to punch up the photos a bit, but not needed with these shots

The photos I get with this lens are phenomenal

It produces wonderful photos!

Every single photo that comes with this lens is simply magical

I do use manual focus more on this lens when shooting at 1.2 at times, but that is expected and much more fun to find that perfect point of focus that can make or break a photo

First let me say that this lens does take a very nice photo, however, unless you shoot at 1.2 ALL the time, it is truly not worth the substantial price difference from the 50 mm 1.4.

It's well built, very fast, produces amazing photos, and is almost silent

The 50mm f/1.2 takes awesome portraits, is great for just walking around, is very usable in limited-light (I can wander around downtown Chicago after the sun has set hours earlier and still get great hand-held photos).

This is still my go-to lens, I've had it for about 2 years and it's still just as amazing as day 1. very sharp photos, does extraordinary in low light, and very quiet and quick

It takes beautiful photos

Then you need to buy the 50L lens, you pay for what you get, everyone speaks of the 50mm1/4 giving great photos, and it does

This is a superb lens it is amazing and get spectacular photos in low light I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get stunning pictures!!

The photos I am getting with this new lens are pretty amazing

this lense is a life saver for I love low light photography and this lense have what it takes to produced great low light photos

1.2 is built like a tank and produces beautiful photos and looks fantastic on a camera

Again, while not perfect in the labs at open apertures, it is oddly one of my favorite lenses and gives gorgeous photos.

At f/1.4 I believe it is MUCH sharper than the 50mm 1.4 and it takes wonderful photos

This is the daddy-o grande of normal primes: exceedingly well made, sharp at all apertures, contrasty and a riot of smooth 'n creamy bokeh
