Pros:
|
The thing is built like a tank
focuses fast and many many options for focusing which is great.
|
|
Cons:
|
price? you get what you pay for though so cant really complain too much there
|
|
|
excellent camera, the 1d series has spoiled me though just as the L lenses have so it will be hard to go back to the prosumer bodies.

|
Pros:
|
Pretty decent focus speed given the amount of glass that's being moved.
When focus is dead on, its quite dreamy
Built like a tank
|
|
Cons:
|
Wide open this lens is not for the pixel peepers but still quite acceptable (this being compared to the 85 1.2).
Obviously the cost, its quite high for what it is but it is what it is.

Picked up this lens after the 85 1.2, loved the creamy bokeh on the 85 and figured ive always wanted to get the 50mm again so went all out and got the 50 1.2L. Its sorta hard to work with, but thats a known fact and seems it gets easier the more you use it. Overall though im quite happy with it, would only recommend to someone that either *needs* 1.2 or just has to have it (for whatever reason).

Pros:

Immediate improvement over its predecessor on my 5d markII.
|
|
Cons:
|
price is a little steep, but as with the other high dollar lenses you get what you pay for.

Sold my first version of this lens after reading many reviews, didn't think it could be that much better. Turns out to be a quite a difference, happy I upgraded for sure.

Price paid: $1,870.00

|
Pros:
|
Impressively sharp wide open when focus is dead on
|
|
Cons:
|
inconstant focus on two cameras, focus ring is a little awkward
|
|
|
I originally rated this lens very highly, but after getting very inconstant focus I brought the lens in for testing. I had issues with this lens front and back focusing no matter what was done. I bought this lens to use at almost wide most of the time, so when focus was off at all it was not good. Im going to give this lens another try after some time, im hoping my copy had an issue. Originally thought my camera, but tried in a 20D and rebel with similar results.
