Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM Medium Telephoto Lens: Capture the essence of every moment with this medium telephoto lens that's perfect for portraits, weddings, action shots and more. The 85mm focal length draws attention to the point of focus by highlighting your subject against a softly blurred background, and the wide aperture performs brilliantly in low-light settings, without the need for a flash.
I'm a semi pro Fine Art photographer with many years of experience across traditional film and digital cameras. This is by far the best lens that I have in my bag now. Quality of the images captured is exceptional....even if the compositions aren't all perfect :) It is a challenging lens to use since as many others have mentioned, depth of field wide open in a sliver of focus. I like challenges and have found this aspect of using the lens to be the most fun for me. It's heavy and expensive but I knew that well before I purchased it and frankly don't care. Go to a local photography store and have them slap one on a pro body for you....check it out for yourself.....if you have a limited budget grab the 1.8 85...............best investment to date when paired up with my 5d Mark iii...
