Customers are saying

Customers find value in the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Standard Lens's exceptional image quality, dreamy bokeh, and impressive low-light performance, frequently praising its ability to achieve a shallow depth of field and produce sharp, clear images. However, some customers note that the autofocus can be slow, and the high price point may be a deterrent for some buyers. The lens's weight is a point of contention, with some finding it substantial while others appreciate its manageable size.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Amazing lens. Sold out at a lot of places so glad I was able to get it here on best buy. Just has some glare issues with the wider F when you shoot directly into light.

    Incredible quality with great bokeh. Low aperture allows for incredible low light shots and high depth of field. This is an amazing lens for portraits and for recording.

    Incredible lens with amazing bokeh! Sure it's not cheap, but Canon glass is hard to beat. Love the weather-sealed design and totally worth the investment. Also, getting the BestBuy points isn't too bad either!

    It's no doubt great when used in low light settings or for its intended purpose of shooting still portraits; however, you might find yourself gravely disappointed if you mis-use it, trying to capture spur of the moment event shots, like I did testing it at a wedding for the first time.

    It is not worth it. It is really hard to set up and it is not focus correctly. However, it is for someone, whom like poker style.
