Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great glass, great depth of field with the f/1.2. Yields fantastic images. Only con would be it takes slightly longer to focus than other lenses, though that time is forgivable.

Love this lens, so crisp. A little slow to focus, but worth it. Must have knowledge in back button focus - or you'll probably struggle with this one.

Beautiful Bokeh... yes, auto focusing is a little slow... little expensive for a lens but we'll worth it!!! My new favorite

This lens is simply amazing. Produces such a crystal clear image. It’s low aperture allows for some really smooth bokeh.

This lens captures some amazing images. Works great for super low light. No stabilization so not the best for high speed shooting but great all around lens.

Worth it to take the jump from the f/1.4 to this amazing f/1.2. Quickly became my go-to for weddings and other events that I shoot professionally. Great lens.

Nice clear photos. Af is a little slow and spotty in certain situations. Over all a really great lens to have in your bag. Pricey but worth it.

I love this lens. It takes amazing portrait images and works well in pretty much any light. It takes some practice to really get the hang of it, but it's so worth it!

Clear crisp clean images. Love the aperture capability. Solid lens that will be my main photoshoot equipment.

One of the greatest Canon lenses out there, with a 1.2 aperture can capture amazing pictures even when is dark. Everyday use lens. Must have!!!

Sharp photos once you adjust to using this lens. Nice outcome in low light or outdoors.

So glad I bit the bullet and bought this unassuming little guy. Instant favorite and extremely sharp and fast!!!!

Perfect for Portraits. Light weight. Makes all photos look professional.

I upgraded to this lens from the Canon 50 mm 1.8. It is a huge improvement as far as sharpness and creamy bokeh.

Images were sharp and wonderful clarity....my workhorse in portrait photography!

This lens is very nice build, its very easy to carry around,and the quality of the Picture is amazing

One of my favorite lenses for wedding. Shooting at 1.2 is amazing, pictures are sharp and look amazing

I have purchased three of these lenses over the years and each time I sell one and replace it, I have no regrets. Now I know you are asking why I sell my prior lenses and they just get so used and banged up I just want new ones. I just love this lens. Yes, I have many other 50mm but I always try to use this one more since it just takes GREAT photos with my my 1DX MkII. Spend the extra and get this lens, you'll thank me later!

Must have portrait lens in your kit. Super fast and amazing glass.

This lens is overall superb, as long as you have a steady hand. Price is steep, but you get what you pay for.
