The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I often read reviews on the net that it is simply not reasonable to overpay such an amount for the difference between f / 1.4 and f / 1.2, while some manage to compare the Canon EF 50 f / 1.2 L with Sigma 1.4! After the first trials of 50 f/1.2, I realized how wrong everyone is and how far from the truth. The colors and sharpness characteristics of the lens can only be compared with 135 2L. Canon EF 50 f/1.2 L - does not draw, he paints oil paintings. In the f/1.2 - f/1.6 interval, simply amazing voluminous female portraits are obtained, which, if necessary, require minimal fine-tuning. The Canon 135 f/2L is a sharper, more masculine portrait in this regard.

The amazing abilities of the Canon EF 50 f/1.2 L have been discovered in the landscape genre even at f/1.2, not bad results are obtained when using a gradient and polarizing filter. The lens works great both in full format - 5D, and on crop - 50D.

Pros

To understand all the advantages of the Canon EF 50 f / 1.2 L, you need to start testing with a younger copy of the 50 1.8 II

Cons

At short distances, from 0.5 to 1.5 meters, strange things happen with focusing, the more you stop the aperture, the more focus goes into the back. On the forums, for a similar effect of individual specimens (manifestation of design features), the lens was dubbed as "shift-focus".
