Canon - EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Standard Lens - Black

This is an awesome lens. I've been using it as my primary walk around for a few weeks now and its great. The bokeh is great and the wide open shots get a LOT of light in, particularly in low light settings where you want to avoid using a flash (ie indoor shots). This is an awesome addition albeit with a high price. I think its important to say that this isn't a beginner lens, particularly if you are heavily (or blindly) dependent upon auto-focus as shooting wide open (f/1.2) requires regular review to ensure that your primary subject is in sharp focus. The depth of field is so shallow at f/1.2 and f/1.4 that you need to be certain that you're sharp on your subject. The lens does have a tendency to front and back focus when you are not careful. While I am by no means an expert, I've got enough of an understand of the technical aspects of shooting that this lens requires a solid grip of aperture, distance/focal-length and focus to ensure that you get the shot you want. Now if I can just improve my composition!

A very versatile lens. Love it especially in portrait shots. Excellent piece of glass. Creamy bokeh and very shrp image even in low light.

I used this lens to capture Details in antique flint glass pieces that had no color just crystal. Once I achieved what I thought was the perfect lighting I proceeded to capture 200 photos with my Canon - EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Standard Lens - Black and my Cannon 5D macIII.

This is such a great lens. I put it on my 5D mark 4 right away and did an engagement shoot with this lens only. The images came out very sharp even while shooting at 1.2. Highly recommend this lens!

This is my new favorite lens. Tack sharp, super fast, and just overall incredible. Don't hesitate if you are deterred by old model back focusing issues- I've had none. This lens is amazing and you can't go wrong
