That being said, most of my favorite shots that DID come out well with my Canon 7D are gorgeous - it was just much more difficult to

Its great with both portraits and landscape shots

My biggest gripe with the f/1.8, other than the gorgeous shots it was capable of achieving, was the noisy autofocus.

When I get on my computer and start grading my images, a higher percentage of my favorite shots are taken with the 50mm f/1.2

And being such a fast lens, it's incredible how dark you can get usable hand-held shots from

It should, however, be noted that the lens can be stopped down quite a few steps to still obtain superior shots than you would with any zoom, Canon L Zooms included

Pro, I just take some awesome shots with the 7D

and i can only take one lens its usually the 50L, not my 24-70L because it love the 50 1.2L shots from f/1.2-f/2.

With the low f-stop you can also get excellent shots in low light conditions such as a concert.

but I'm taking amazing shots with this lens set to Apeture priority as well

Takes some getting used to, but the bokeh is amazing, and the low light shots are exceptional

The bokeh from f/1.2 - 4.0 is so buttery and smooth you will definitely not be disappointed, but to really get the most out of this lens you want to use it at f/1.2 - 2.8.The target audience for this lens is certainly the photo enthusiast that wants great portrait shots

While you get great shots using full-frame, I've tried it with my Rebel T3i and have gotten some spectacular results - people deny that I'm not using my full frame with the 85mm f/1.2L II as they share about the same view perspective.-

The shots I am doing, especially portiats, are incredible

If you're main interest is in great shots and you're not making money with them, the 1.4 is appropriate

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
