- Incredible Portrait LensI managed to get my hands on one of these at a camera show. It was incredible! Attach it to any Canon DSLR, and it will instantly make you a pro (assuming you have at least some experience with SLRs). It is well worth the cost if you are a pro photographer, and perhaps even if you are an amateur. I recommend this lens for anybody who wants to take their portrait shots to the next level. My only concern is the price, so only buy this if you have plenty of money to burn.
- Superb ImagesI got this lens while looking at another L series lens. After seeing the beautiful, silky smooth background blur, I was hooked. My best portrait type shots are with this lens. The colors are amazing and details are great. I love this lens. The autofocus is slow, as compared to my 70-200 f2.8 and it's a heavy lens, but most quality lenses are going to be heavy.
- Outstanding lens with caveats as others notedI have used this for about a month and concur with the consensus of the previous reviews.
- Best Portrait Lens-EVERSince buying the Canon 85mm f1.2L II USM lens, I have shot portraits that are sharp, dreamy and out of the world bokey. All my subjects are extremely happy with the results and this lens is everything that Canon promises it to be. Lot of people complains about its slow auto focus but that has never been an issue with me. It has delivered for me every time. I use f 1.2 pretty much all the time.. be careful about camera shake there. No scope for error at that depth of field. Thank you Canon for delivering such professional optics.
