You need to be cognizant of the focus point you want when composing your image. If your well versed in photography you?ll love this beautiful lens.

Nothing looks like this lens, I shoot a lot of motorcycles and the creative way you can play with light reflecting off the chrome with this lens is like nothing I’ve found in any other lens. Every thing looks buttery and sharp at the same time it’s amazing. I love it.

This lens is amazing! I’ve heard so much about and finally decided to take a chance! I’m so glad I did. The bokeh is creamy and beautiful.

I wanted to love this lens but after several attempts it just did not deliver the sharpness I was seeking. I ultimately ended up returning. Customer service however was great.

Amazing piece of L glass! I have been waiting to upgrade my nifty 50 to the 1.2L for years and I finally pulled the trigger. AF is rock solid on 1Dx Mark I and cannot wait to run it on my pre-ordered 1Dx Mark III. No issues in low light. The first one I purchased had a flake of what I would call Loctite in between the optics. Canon support walked me through the RMA and I have another lens in my hand in a few days.

I absolutely love this lens. Crisp, vivid photos every time. Use it mostly for portraits and it hardly ever comes off my camera body! The small details in the shot are beautiful and the images are again vivid and sharp and clean!

Highly recommended. Lens performs as expected on Canon 6D. No focus issues at varied distances. Product appears as new, as was my EF 100mm L Macro.

Extremely sharp lens, definitely recommended if trying a prime compared to zooms. Tack sharp.

After all the bologna I went through trying to buy this lens. I've had it for about a month now. It is worth what I went through to get it. When it finally arrived, it looks brand new. Not a mark on it. Now, the important part. It performs flawlessly. It is sharp, clear and crisp. The colors are right on. I do find that wide open I need a tripod when shooting handheld. It isn't the lenses fault. Something about "the ageing process" I hear a lot of these days. Worth the crazy price I paid for it.

Kept renting this lens because it's amazing and sharp and clear and fast. Finally just bought my own well worth the investment.

I am a wedding photographer & it captures my clients day perfectly! I trust it's efficiency in low light situations. It's lightweight & easy to store in my bag. Only bad thing is I have to back up a little more than I'm used to to get it to focus on details, but I can certainly live with that! Super happy I added this to my collection!

I've had this lens for a number of years now. I've read reviews critical of its ability to focus. This is not a newbie lens, nor does it matter how many years a person has been shooting if those years do not include experience with lenses this unique. Success with this lens hinges entirely on the user's ability and understanding, especially of focus shift at close ranges and wide apertures which is endemic in lenses of this type. This lens is capable of is astonishing images.

I've had this lens for about 18 months and just love it. I've long been a fan of fast 50mm lenses, and own a number of them. This is, by far, the best autofocus fast 50mm I've ever used. I also own and use the Leica 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux M, so my standards for super-speed lenses are very high. Yes, the Leica lens is better, but for what it costs it should be, and of course that one does not have automatic focus. On a 5D mk III this lens focuses quickly and accurately with any focus point, though in very low light the center point is best. My copy was dead-on accurate right out of the box and required no AF microadjust on my camera. I've seen others complain of focus shift at smaller apertures, but I've had no such experience. This lens is expensive for a Canon 50mm, but you really do get what you pay for. Just remember f/1.2 there is very shallow depth of field and it takes practice to learn how to shoot at such wide apertures.

I love 50mm on full-frame. I've been successfully using the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens for years. I've always been curious about this lens. My primary use is landscape photography. Very simply, this lens is exceptional. This is a professional lens in all aspects. It delivers at all apertures. f/1.4 to f/16 is where it really shines. It creates beautiful photos. There is a difference. Photos just have a subtle look and feel that I did not see in my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. I highly recommend this lens for professional photography.

The luminosity, contrast and color rendering can only be compared to another great lens, the 85MM 1.2L, I've read reviews that claim is not the sharpest< with all due respect and honesty " I don't know what they're talking about, this lens is razor sharp from f2.8 on" and sharp enough at it's super widest aperture of F1.2...... If you know how to use it, you will be very pleased at every aperture, then again you have to know how to.

After owning the f/1.4 and f/1.8 models, I decided to bite the bullet and purchase the f/1.2 model. I am beyond pleased- I wish I had done this earlier. This is a superior lens and my go-to for almost everything. Excellent quality. Love the weight and feel of the lens as well.

This is a wonderful street lens you absolutely cannot go wrong with this lens. Photographs look in perspective the way they were taken. My favorite video to watch about this and other GREAT Canon lenses is 50mm vs 35mm vs 28mm - Best Street Photography Lens

Nothing quite like it, not the sharpest but when it renders it's the most awesome thing ever, bokeh is amazing, switched to 50mm, been using 35mm (35L , tried renting this one weekend and that was it, never bought a refurb before but they're an amazing deal, brand new condition with Canon warranty, beats buying a used lens on eBay or something, This great stuff from Canon, I'll be watching this place more often for great deals.

This is a very good piece of lens! It weigh quite a bit and its quite thick, but no problem there. Compared to other lenses I've tried, this one feels really stable, well built and massive. It screams quality all the way! The 1.2 aperture of course allows for really soft bokeh and amazingly dramatic images. I use this one for portraits as well as environment photography and would definitely describe it as one of the best overall lenses out there! The negative things is... that the auto focus is quite slow and I often feel that it has a quite hard time to get the focus, even with clear motives. Another thing that I experienced by using the 5DsR (and NOT with the 5D MKII) is that in some lights, with some settings, the lens gives a hideous chromatic aberration. But if you know how to handle it, it shouldn't be a problem.
