I've had this lens before and as soon as I sold it I began to regret it, so I purchased another one. Aside from its ability to capture very low light exposures, this lens excels because of the "look" it renders. It was designed to be shot wide open and that's where it shines.
Just got this a few days ago and am enjoying it, it's quite heavy, but feels well put together and very solid. Optically it produces great results. Bought it with 20% off so made it very competitive and interest free over 12 months. Delivered as stated and well packed.
"If I seem edgy, I want you to know, I never meant to take it out on YOU!"I haven't purchased the 50mm f/1.2 yet, but that's why I'm reading the reviews by those who have. The conclusion that I've reached is that MOST don't know what does what. First, there is NO SUCH THING as a "Narrow DOF".
Low Light Capability
A Bit Of Over-kill For Me
I upgraded this lens from my 1.4 for a trip to France where I assumed (correctly) that flash would not be permitted in museums and churches. I am extremely happy with the images captured; I have great images inside the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris while all those around me were struggling with...

perhaps the best lens in my kit will certainly be putting it to some use over Christmas new year
I'm a photographer by profession. I've used 50mm primes from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus and Sigma. But nothing can even come close to what this lens can do. Pros: 1. Super fast focusing 2. Silent while focusing 3. Extremely sturdy 4. The most important thing. F1.2 man!
If you are looking for a 50mm lens with beautiful bokeh, good contrast/color at wide open, and you want to use f1.2, for low light photo AND video, this is the one for you.
