The 50mm F1.2 is a great lens overall.
It's small, it's light, it fits well on a 1D body or 5D body.
When shot wide open it's decently sharp, it has a bit of veiling haze which makes the wide open performance seem a bit worse than it is by robbing it of a bit of contrast. When you stop it down though it soars.
Bokeh is pretty melty wide open and it's pleasing.
The focal length coupled with ultra wide aperture is just down right appealing, perfect focal length with the perfect aperture.
