very fast but at a cost.
I love this lens, the DOF is extremely low as one would expect. I can shoot in near total darkness as long as I have a light for focus assist. Ambient light looks true and beautiful! With that said however this lens is the worst of all I own for backlit subjects.
Pros:
- Superior build quality
Cons:
- Semi-sharp images
- chromatic aberration

Best Purchase of 2013!
Beautiful Bokeh, people say it is slow to focus, haven't had a problem with it at all! In fact, I got some amazing shots of my german short haired pointer running and jumping with this lens. Amazingly sharp, definitely an investment, but worth it.
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Stunning image quality; if used wisely
I bought this lens as an upgrade on the 85mm f/1.8 USM lens primarily to shoot weddings. I am very pleased with the image quality, even at wider or the widest apertures. The main thing about this lens is the colour and contrast over the f/1.8, pictures come out looking better and require less...
Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Not working
Got this lens delivered to me in great packaging. Attatched it to the camera and got error message. Couldn't get through to Canon very disappointed. The Lens did not work at all. Returned straight away

Glad to have one back
Replacement for beyond repair Mk 1 version, and Amazon were best priced. This lens gets business - the DoF separation of subject from background you can achieve is amazing. Not sure Mk II is better than Mk 1, maybe slighter quicker focus - but am glad to have an 85mm 1.2 back in service.

Most amazing lens I have ever owned
Most amazing lens I have ever owned. It's a little heavy but I like that. This lens is a beast. My images are so sharp now. I'm very pleased with my purchase!

Retaining the impressive optical performance and large aperture of the original EF 85mm f/1.2L USM, this new medium telephoto lens uses a Ring-type USM, high-speed CPU and optimized algorithms to achieve an autofocus speed approximately 1.8x faster than the original.
