Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM

[Nick]

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. The high-speed AF and circular aperture create a shallow depth-of-field that brings attention to the subject and blurs the background, which is ideal for portraits and weddings. The floating optical system, which includes an aspherical lens element, suppresses aberrations and ensures excellent imaging performance.

Rating : 9.5/10

Pros : This lens is super sharp wide open, color in great, and little CA are observed except at area where strong relection and high contrast occurs. Super fast aperture, and a fantastic lens for portrait even for 1.6x sensor.

Cons : Super expensive...cost around $3.5K (I got it for $2.9K with international warranty and 2nd year warranty from Thailand)

Use this lens for about 1 week now. And I am wow by each photo that I took. The DOF just makes the subject jump out at you! The sharpness at 1.2 is absolutely amazing! AF is also quite fast compared to the mark I which I tried sometime back.
