The images I get with this lens wide open are breathtaking
Some says you get sharper images on certain stops with 1.4 but sharpness is not everything about image quality
Might not be as sharp wide open, but still makes images look nicer, a special feel, than any lens i owned
Finally I think I learned to use this Lens to get sharp images, after a lot of trial and error!!
With a new baby on the way, I wanted a lens that would allow me to take razor-sharp images of my new bundle of joy while blurring the background and surrounding parts of the image("bokeh").
It seems to do exactly what it purports to do and then some...it really makes some truly lovely pictures (and yes all that wonderful L color and contrast is there too)
I had a Sigma 50mm 1.4, two tamron sp 35mm and 85mm 1.8, all made for high megapixel wars, but none, no other lens besides the 85mm 1.2 L lens will give u the rendering, the bokeh, the 3d look, the beautiful L lens colors, transition from bokeh to sharpness, the amount of light u can capture with this lens, its superb
Chromatic abberation is rather harsh for an L-lens (even harsher than the 1.8 and 1.4 non-L lenses) and the vignetting on a full-frame sensor is kind of disappointing
I had a zeiss, nice colors, rendition, but no Canon L lens
BUT, there will be many lighting conditions in which shooting between f/1.4 to f/2.0 will give you less than perfect results (eg. distracting bokeh, terrible color, washed out photos, or complete lack of sharpness).
I find 50mm to be a great focal length for many of the sporting events I attend locally, but it doesn't focus like a sporting lens should
I was debating this vs the 35L, but 50mm is my preferred focal length
For me, 50mm is the golden focal length and this lens is the best 50 you can get.
I had my eye on this lens for a very long time as 50mm is my favorite focal length, and I've never been a fan of the f/1.8 or f/1.4 50mm lenses from Canon
i love the 50mm focal length on a full frame body like my 5D mark II.
, its BOKELICIOUS!It has as good a build quality as you can get from a canon lens other than the white lenses
f/1.2 II - Sharper and generally better picture quality than the 50mm f/1.2 at any aperature and one of the very few lenses out there that has better bokeh, if not the best as some might argue.
And will you be using this lens professionally on a regular basis to exploit its build quality
Chromatic abberation is rather harsh for an L-lens (even harsher than the 1.8 and 1.4 non-L lenses) and the vignetting on a full-frame sensor is kind of disappointing
This lens produces superb image quality and is lightweight.
Creamy smooth bokeh, good build, focused as fast as the 50mm f/1.4 (not faster), rich colors, and great contrast
so I could use my expensive B+W Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with it.

Chromatic abberation is rather harsh for an L-lens (even harsher than the 1.8 and 1.4 non-L lenses) and the vignetting on a full-frame sensor is kind of disappointing
Other than that, the lens is of course well built, feels great in your hands and is just a pleasure to shoot with
I'm in the process of acquiring a full set of fast prime "L" lenses
The lens loses edge sharpness on a full frame quicker than longer focal length, or slower aperture lenses.
With the other 50mm primes I've owned, I never got filters for them...seemed overkill on cheaper lenses, but with the amount of moolah you fork over for this f/1.2 bad boy, you'll want to protect that forward element!
Chromatic abberation is rather harsh for an L-lens (even harsher than the 1.8 and 1.4 non-L lenses) and the vignetting on a full-frame sensor is kind of disappointing
all three lenses are very sharp above f/2 but the two cheaper lenses both have poor background blur rendering.
At f/1.2 you can get extremely shallow DoF but tack sharp images where you need it the most
The speed, shallow DOF, and dreamy bokeh are awesome and the ability to shoot extremely fast and in very low light is amazing
but I think that a lot of the people complaining about this lens have a pretty basic misunderstanding of the phrase "RAZOR THIN DOF" which is an inevitable characteristic of a 50mm f/1.2 design
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
Even at 1.2 and low light, the focusing was fast and the sharp, the bokeh was excellent with the understanding the DOF was shallow (and for close ups, very shallow)
The negative reviews seriously have no idea how powerful and amazing this lens is
I always wanted this lens and I bought it few months ago, after reading the all the negative reviews about this lens I got worried and sold it online at a
This lens receives a ton of negative reviews, mostly dealing with focus problems such as back focus or focus shift
So far, I have had nothing but great reviews from my product
I own the 85 1.2L and was hesitant to purchase the 50 1.2L due to the bad focus reviews
(Other than this, the image quality on this lens simply blows my mind.
