Canon EF

This is a Canon\u2019s flagship and THE portrait lens. Most of things that were said about this lens are true and I won\u2019t repeat what were said over and over, but I wrote MY OPINION on those issues. - SLOW FOCUS SPEED: People say it\u2019s slow...

This lens is like looking down a well from the outside of the lens in. at 1.2 , you better have what you want in focus, because DOF is shallow, as it should be. the lens is amazingly sharp. for portraits of any kind, candid or posed, you're not going...

Photography is my passion & my 5D Mark II my beloved. Each lens being a window to see the world in a different way, the 85mm f/1.2 offers a deeper more personal connection with the subject by allowing the rest of the world to fade from existance in a...

My wife and I love this lens. We keep it on our new 5D MK3 fulltime so we can catch great photos of our new granddaughter. Crisp, sharp pictures with a wonderful background blur.

I'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...

The only reason why I still shooting Canon. I almost love everything about this lens except for the weight. But at1.2, it's unavoidable. Image is sharp, with sweet rendering. I like the loose focus ring. It is so much easier to adjust manually with...

With the 5D II and this lens, I've gotten more referrals for outdoor portrait gigs than I ever got using previous glass. Senior portrait season is here, and I've had fun with my clients shooting multiple shots with different levels of background...

Going for portraits? Get this lens. Love it. Excellent depth of field. Excellent at 85mm. Excellent elements. Excellent glass, and how much of it there is. High price, but what do you expect? It's probably the best lens I've ever seen for the midrange...

Now more than one year later, this is portrait lens of record for 15,000 images. The glass is heavy and the autofocus has to struggle a bit with all the mass to move, but when the beep goes off you are razor thin focused at full open aperature. I leave...
