- Great glass, but poor focus ringThis is a great piece of glass, but shooting at f1.2 results in such shallow depth-of-field that manual focus is essential. This is where the lens has a terrible fault. The focus ring is not really manual, it requires the camera to be turned on to power the focusing ring. The electronics translate manual focus into actual focus. The feel is very awkward, the ring feels too loose, and focus is not as precise. Also, to protect the lens from being stored in an extended position, it requires that you consciuosly refocus the lens to retract it before turning the camera off or changing lenses.
- PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER'S DREAM COME TRUEIf portrait's are your thing, you are considering on of the best. If you desire superb optical quality, extreme dept of field control, and wonderful bokeh, this is the lens for you. I find the pictures I get with it inspire me to keep taking more. It's truly excellent!
- One of my Best "L" lensesI've just finished making a few portrait shots with this lens and I must say, I am amazed by the image quality. The images have a great contrast, sharpness, and beautiful clarity; even at aperture wide open. The background blur (bokeh) is ASTONISHING--it just melts like cream.
- BEST LENS SO FARI just love this lens. The image quality and the Bokeh are absolutley unbeliveable. It does take some getting use to but the almost magical images it produces is very rewarding. Also, the 1.2 gives me many more low light oppertunities that I was able to get before.
- One of the best lenses out there!!!If you want a great portrait lens with a fast aperture and razor sharp images, LOOK NO FURTHER. Although this lens hits your wallet HARD, I would say this is the best lens I own. (this includes 35mm f/1.4L, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, 400mm f/2.8L, 24-105mm f/4L, etc.) I have used it on my 30D, 5D Mark II and 1D Mark III and it is stellar across the board. And even though I like it the most on my full-frame sensor body, the cropping factor of a 30D, etc. did not bother me. 90% of my favorite images have come from this lens.
