I am trying to rationalize the 85L purchase, and you can help by showing what it can do.

Most of the good stuff I shot with the 85 is of people, and I can't really post them up on the net, so this will have to do. ƒ1.4 as far as I remember.

Here is my very first 85L shot, actually a cat in the camera store! Well, I did buy it in Belgium, the lens, not the cat!

I believe this was wide open but probably should have stopped down a bit. Still love it though. =)

Ed's pic would be the mk1. Were yo looking new or used? A small advantage of the mkII is the round aperture blades.

Great lens, but it can be tough to nail focus at 1.2 on manual. I find that the focus in so razor thin at 1.2 that I have a difficult time finding perfect focus in the viewfinder. I read somewhere that the standard focusing screens canon uses are only useful down to 1.8. Can anyone confirm this?

Great shots. Can anyone demonstrate the bokeh difference between the 85L and Mark II? Curious what difference the aperture blades make?

This is why I desperately want ...make that need this lens. I love the 3D dof that this lens can give you. My 70-200 2.8is is great, but this lens is off the charts. Great shots canerino!
