Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Lens Review
The Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Lens is the widest aperture lens Canon currently makes (review update: the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens now shares this aperture) - allowing handholding and action stopping in the darkest conditions.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II (Mark II) Compared to Mark I Lens and to Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens
You should draw your own conclusions based on your photographic objectives and the need for light gathering capacity, background blur in out of focus areas (bokeh), and for autofocus speed as well as cost and weight considerations.

Canon's EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM; Portraits Plus Optical Speed
For some time now my favorite portrait lens has been Canon's EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, but now my new favorite is the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM. It replaces the EF 85mm f/1.2L USM and offers the widest aperture of any lens in Canon's EF family.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Lens Review
Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM, released in early 2006, is one of the fastest prime lenses in Canon's modern arsenal (the other lens that offers as fast aperture is Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM) and replaces the first generation EF 85mm f/1.2L lens.

Canon EF 85 mm f/1.2L II USM
The 85 mm lenses are very interesting instruments – especially today. Their kind of focal length is perfect for portrait photos and it doesn't matter whether we use a full frame or an APS-C/DX sensor camera. It is worth notice that no other classic focal length offers us similar comfort.
Pros:
- solid workmanship and a very robust barrel
- sensational frame centre image quality
- very good frame edge image quality on the APS-C sensor
- good frame edge image quality on stopping down to the range about f/2.8-4.0
- very good chromatic aberration correction
- low distortion
- low astigmatism,...
Cons:
- high price
- the manual focus ring works too loosely
- too limited accessory kit
- significant vignetting on full frame near the maximum aperture
- too high coma level

Canon EF 85/1.2L II
Here is a copy of the Canon press release on the new EF 85/1.2L II. It's very similar to the original version, except that it now transmits distance information to the camera to support E-TTL II flash and AF speed has been much improved.
