Reviews on Canon EF 50mm f / 1.2L USM Normal Lens
Sharpest Lens but Expensive!!!!
Strengths: The brightest lens that can provide sharp and blurred images....
Weakness: Too expensive....
If you want to take a portrait picture with the blurred and sharp quality and you can afford the expense for this lens, it could be the best choice. I am using EOS 1D Mark II and EOS 20D, and my bodies can focus any objects very fast and the quality of images is so deep and sharp to blur out backgrounds even the rounded parts of the object. The biggest problem is the price. I spent almost $1380...
Great Lens... Poor Value.
Strengths: Fast aperture, L quality build, beautiful background blur, great color and contrast.
Weakness: Price.
This lens does what it says it does. It is perfectly usable at f1.2. It focuses quickly and quietly (better than the 50 f/1.4). It is built like a rock and belongs on a 1-series body. It is not quite as sharp at 1.2 as the 35mm f/1.4 (one of the sharpest lenses in Canon's lineup). But sharpness isn't everything. It has background blur quality on par with the 85 f/1.2. It definitely has L quality...
Luxurious and Expensive
Strengths: Fast Lens, Solid Construction, Sharp, Beautiful Circular Bokeh
Weakness: Ridiculously Expensive
In what has got to be both the smartest and stupidest decision I've ever made, I bought the 50mm f/1.2 L to complement my 24-105mm f/4 L lens. Smartest, because this lens is absolutely wonderful. It really stands up well for the L line with solid construction, a mindnumbingly awesome f/1.2, beautiful bokeh, and great sharpness. The lens feels heavy and solid unlike it's cheaper siblings, the...
bacfocusing problems
Strengths: Takes very nice pictures,small aperture
Weakness: Expensive, 3 out of 3 lenses had backfocus
I do not have this lens anymore,I had to return all 3 so I will not try again.Significant backfocusing on all 3 lens.I was frustrated and dissapointed. If you focus on the eye of an model it will be out of focus...

An expensive lens with really good quality
Strengths: Can take very good portraits. Color is very rich and bright.
Weakness: Price is too high. Get fuzzy pictures easily in a slightly dark place.(no feature of stabilizer)
It is definitely an excellent lens. Sometimes I encounter back focus problem and I guess it is because the focus spot is too dark. Other than that, the color is incredibly bright and rich. No post-processing required.
