- This is why I stick with Canon!i really went back and forth between this and the 85mm 1.2 I those this because I knew I would be using the vid feature on my 5D MKII. Boy, am I glad I chose 50mm 1.2! Not that 85mm is worse, but the 50mm is so versatile. I can use it for portrait settings, fast-action work, and video! It just performs every task well. This is my lens of choice! If you know what you are doing, the lens will get the job done, period.
- ExcellentI 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.
- Worst Purchase EverTerrible lens because of the price point. At 3 times the price the image crispness and durability is almost the same.
- Worth itIncredible. Crisp. Fast. Worth every cent. Only regret not purchasing earlier.
- You Con People Are Crazy!I recently purchased this lens. After reading threw all the pros and cons I still have nothing but good things to say about it. I own a Mark III and Mark II and with both cameras, this lens by far is the sharpest and most amazing lens to work with. Its fast, and very diverse. I shoot for major companies and hit industry with modeling and action sports.Trust me buy it and add it to your collection you cant go wrong. Its ability to hit 1.2 and have a ISO or 50 or 100 just sucks in the light making every shot perfect and fast really fast.
