If you want the best fast 50mm for Canon you can buy, this is the ticket.
-
This 50/1.2 along with my 70-200mm and the 16-35mm gives me everything I need, I can't recommend this lens enough
-
shoot 50mm most of the time on full-frame (not to diss crop frames, its just that 50 and 80 are quite difference)-You always shoot RAW and know your way around
-
They say that amateur photographers embark on an equipment journey...beginning with cheap starter lenses, then to "L" zooms and eventually all roads lead to the elite prime "L" lenses- the 35mm, the 50mm, 85mm, 135mm, etc,

Outstanding 50mm Lens
-
If you want the best 50mm L lens for the price, this is your go-to
-
I love the 85mm and was really happy with the purchase I still use it a lot
-
Now enter the EF 50mm 1.2L. Under similar conditions, the 50mm goes on the hunt like a scud missile and get you that great picture every time
-
And compared to the popular 85mm lens, it's lighter and more practical for amateurs.
-
Not as heavy as the 85mm, but solid in its construction
-
If you know you need/want the absolute best 50mm prime out
-
I even had a surplus 77mm UV/Haze filter sitting in my bag, but its of no use on this lens.
-
Also, for portraits, even though the 50mm is a bit softer it may actually be better with less post work to remove blemishes or other things like that
-
If you have the money for it, you may as well grab this lens over other options... after all, it's the best/fastest Canon 50mm that you can buy.
-
I'm very happy I bought it, and I use my 100mm or my 15mm for sporting events instead of this slow-focusing 50mm.
-
I'm glad Sigma took such a long time to release their new 50mm, otherwise I would never have bought the amazing Canon 50mm f/1.2L lens
-
it's the best 50mm lens you could buy and i have no trouble with focusing issues
-
But the 50mm f/1.4 doesn't perform well below f/2, so the advantage of low light photography is competing with image quality at large apertures
-
This is the best 50mm lens that I can think of
-
24-70, 135 and this wonderful 50mm lens
-
50mm 1.2-- Thank you and have some fun with this lens--
-
f1.2 at the same time, and I like the 85mm the best of the two - but both are fantastic.
-
If I had to choose only one prime lens to use, this would be the one - it's among my favorites although the 85mm f1.2 is a gem too and seems to yield even better bokeh, especially for portraits
-
I have EOS 5D, and wanted to take full advantage of FF factor, and this was why I took a plunge instead of getting acclaimed 35MM or 85MM.Good
-
While this is not the sharpest 50mm prime I've used--that honor goes to the EF 50 2.5 CM--the EF
-
I love the 50mm sweet spot
-
At L prices it will take me years to get the coverage I need but having this 50mm in your bag is highly recommended by this amateur
-
This lens has strengths and weaknesses over the Canon 50mm 1.4
-
If you shoot mainly above 2.8, the much less expensive 50mm f/1.4 will likely give you great results as well
-
Even below 2.8, the 50mm f/1.4 is quite good
-
This is definitely heavier than my 70-200 f/4.0 and 100mm f/2.8 macro-expensive.
-
If I had a full frame camera sensor, I might prefer a 85mm
-
This was nothing like my experience with my 35mm f1.4 (smooth focus ring, sharp and easy to attach)
-
: I broke my 50mm f/1.2 finally.
-
I wanted either this or the 85mm 1.2l and based on many reviews I ended up buying the more expensive 85mm 1.2l
-
I expected this to be as good as the 85mm
