I really do enjoy using this lens. Its sharp, I love the extremely shallow depth of field. but there are two poor time about this lens especially for how expensive it is. 1. the autofocus is painfully slow, particularly when the focusing distance is rather large. 2.

Just perfect for portraits Just fast enough The smoothest blur you will ever see Best used with pro cameras Just get it.

My go to lens for portrait work, no other lens in my bag can produce images like this lens

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.

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!

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.

Great

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

So worth every penny !! The focusing is slower than others.

Superior build quality; Super-sharp images

Slow Auto-Focus

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...
