  • Low light marvel

    I bought this lens specifically for shooting indoors in natural light at reasonably fast shutter speeds without having to crank up the ISO too much. It certainly delivers in this regard offering effectively three extra stops. At f1.2 it's not as sharp as some but I'm not shooting subjects where that is so important so it doesn't matter - what is more important is that I'm getting stacks of light on my sensor without camera shake! If you look closely there is some fringing at f1.2 but at f5.6 upwards the lens performs very well indeed. The narrow depth of field at wide apertures needs care to make sure you focus on the right part of the subject but the bokeh is very pleasing and it is the perfect lens for picking out a subject in focus. It is incredibly expensive if bought new but, like all Canon L series lenses, it is solidly made and sits well on my 5D III being a bit smaller than a zoom lens.

  • Legendary bokeh but sharpness disappointing

    For great bokeh this lens is legendary. However, tack sharp it isn't. Close inspection of images shows that this lens has difficulty resolving fine detail like strands of hair in a crisp manner. Whilst individual strands are visible definition isn't great at this level of magnification. I have calibrated focus on my body (EOS 5D Mk III) using FoCal software with no significant improvement. Having said all of the above the results are still pleasing to the eye which is what this lens is all about. Disappointed, sure I am. For an L lens the resolving power wide open is relatively poor (why buy an expensive 1.2 lens and then shoot at 1.8...). I have the 1.4 85mm L lens too and this is much sharper. Maybe this a compromise that the designers made to achieve the creamy bokeh?

  • A gem of a lump of glass

    I bought the 50L 1.2 to accompany my Zeiss Milvus 50 f1.4 when AF was needed. The images produced on 5ds using the canon 50L are superb tack sharp they dont have zeiss bite but the bokeh is stunning at f1.2. The build is good and im sure will be in my bag for many years. The AF performance is surprisingly good considering the amount of glass that has to be moved.

  • Bokehlicious dreamy beauty

    This is superbly stunning piece of glass. I will excuse the weight of it because the amount of light coming through is simply amazing, almost magical. Focusing (even in low light conditions) seems to be much faster and better responsive than it's 85mm 1.2 brother. I believe that 85mm brother can offer you dreamier bokeh but for anything else I prefer this Beauty. You can achieve "state of art pictures with this lens with much less hassle comparing its bigger brother. This lens is a dream, on the other hand, still affordable.

  • Great lens well made fantastic quality.

    The Canon EF50mm f/1.2 L USM is one of the legendary SLR lenses which it justly deserves. The lens oozes quality, from its construction to the controllabity of depth of field. The Bokeh at f1.2 is amazing.
